Dana Point Gray Whale
Just got back from “Baby Beach” where the wayward gray whale has taken refuge. Contrary to previous reports it is a juvenile, not 60+ years old. It has/had rope tangled on it’s fluke. I’ve got to go to work (I’m cutting it close. I got caught up in all the drama), but will post photos later this evening.

Is it possible to ask the Dana Point surfers to do a memorial “ring” for Lilly the whale??
It’s always such a terrible thing when creatures, like a beautiful baby whale, get tangled– literally or figuratively– in the constructs of humans. This poor young whale reminds me of the many creatures who’ve lost thier lives in the Gulf oil spill. What would their lives be like without human interference?
