I'm always missing the dolphins and now the whales! Even when everyone else is telling me where to look, although over two years ago I did get to see some dolphins playing with some jet skiers off Sandy Beach - even I could find them then.

Our sea is so fantastic.

I will keep my telescope set-up on my patio this weekend and see if they come around to Cholla. Thx, I haven't seen whales in RP in 5+ years. 20+ years ago we would find some dead, washed up on the beaches all around RP. We used to see many blow spouts 500+ yards out, Dec-March.

Shepard Smith on Fox News just showed the video that was on PHX news or the whales and the fishing boat. He said Mexico but did not say Rocky Point.
