BIG News and a BIG BLUE WHALE ENCOUNTER | Episode 109

[@francook9871]

I had to come back and re=watch this after your reference to it in #131 and it's every bit as exciting as the first time - I never tire of seeing the whale surface again. :-)

4:03 Warren the MVP of cameramen That blue whale footage was fantastic. So big, so majestic!

[@UbuntuBirdyMovies]

Guys, your ocean life videos are always so unbelievably amazing! National Geographic quality someone has written - no, they are way above! Because your videos are so filled with emotions!!! Thank you so much for these impressive pictures!!!

[@georgekot6377]

The energy that you guys conveyed is amazing. Thanks for taking all of us along.

[@lechwoj3582]

Fantastyczne i magiczne wręcz widowisko!!!😀🤙🇵🇱

[@RS-co1ln]

That is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I did notice at 3:24 your chain roller was not turning. Just in case you had not noticed.

[@allendavidson2082]

Seeing the Blue Whale is so rare. Thank you so much for documenting such a rare event. Thank you. Safe travels!

[@cameronhubly5341]

Whale worth it!😎

[@pattipowell7788]

This is one of the best videos ever. I enjoyed the aerial views of the whales. I hope you enjoy your trip! Be safe‼️

[@michaelhall8518]

One of your best yet!! The whale watching was AWESOME!!! And soo excited to hear about your future plans aboard Wolfhound!!

[@billskelton3701]

Just found you guys a couple weeks ago. Amazing video. National Geographic quality of the Blue Whale. So glad your friends knew about the 4 to 5 minute timeline. Made it just that much more exciting. Love to ya'll from South Carolina! I'll be watching.

[@wolfman1549]

This video should have 1 million views already

[@sprendergast351]

That was so well worth hearing those diesels humming to get to that beautiful whale quicker. Just fantastic footage, thank you Steve.

[@anamartins1457]

Very nice shot and super cool footage......I loved it all ;-) Please keep doing what you two are doing.......it is so enjoyable to watch your vids. All the best

[@MrFooboo1224]

I'm so jealous and so happy for you guys at the same time. Moments tc cherish ❤ a lifetime. LUCKY DOGS!

[@toddbettis148]

I hate to say it but I think that you may be missing out on a golden opportunity ! With the borders being closed in so many of the south pacific nations , buddy boating to Hawaii might have been a Grrrr888 opportunity to " stage up " to either go south if travel restrictions ease up or north to southeast Alaska and the Canadian inside passage cruising grounds !!! Up in Southeast Aalska you will not only see pods of up to 10 humpback whales "bubble netting" herring at once but also be able to see the glaciers in Glacier Bay before they are gone !!! And then perhaps by then those countries in the south pacific may have re opened ? Not to mention that the salmon and halibut fishing is off the charts crazy good !!! We're talking potentially 40+ lb salmon and 300 + lb halibut and let's not forget the King crab !!! It'sa yummy destination !!! Cruisers paradise !!!

[@phoenixreimagined]

What a wonderful blessing you experienced!

[@2thelight]

Very cool, now you have me stuck again in my decision of a cat or a big mono hull, I was surprised how long and thin the blue whale was...amazing. I would think Mexico with its arid climate would be a great place to store the boat as far a black mold and lizard poop when you return, best of luck.

[@ianprice9005]

Erica you could get an Oscar for this story just like the guy in Capetown did with the Movie my teacher the octopus. They are such fascinating creatures. If you haven seen the movies it’s a must to watch

[@billskelton3701]

Those types of sunrises and sunsets are Gods way of letting you know how much he loves us.

[@janiceworkman7144]

Absolutely beautiful blue whales! Thank you for sharing!♥️♥️

[@jamiebuechler8833]

Beautiful! Good luck on your new adventure!

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Now that was cool.

[@walterwinn2842]

Pretty cool

[@jimduffy9773]

Truly majestic.

[@shaneshaw1895]

what an incredible sight, beautiful!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

I don't understand why y'all don't have more likes with this awesome whale footage. At this time 769 views and only 105 likes. What's wrong with viewers not hitting the like button I see this happen on so many good channels such a small percentage of viewers hit the like button... Yes it does upset me it's the least a viewer could do hit the or if they don't like it then whatever... I'm overly happy for you kids getting to see that and your new adventures to come. Much love and prayers be blessed in Jesus name.... BBE...

[@mrjbbarker1947]

[@sweetlilou3280]

[@familyupgrade]

Increadable! Blue was a BIG boy!

[@deankoch7305]

That's way cool.

[@luissanchez7498]

Great video... again!!! Question, How cold is the water there and when were you there? That area is in my bucket list but I don't know if there is a time of the year that the water is not that cold.

[@steveking6204]

Great video and fun plans. Why did you decide to join your friends on their boat instead of buddy boating with them?

[@tookthered1700]

Hello Guys me and my wife really enjoy the videos you two put out. You mentioned going to San Carlos to haul out, can you haul out in marina San Carlos? Or do you have to haul and store at marina Guaymas? Me and my wife are in the final year before we take off on our similar sailing adventure and I have be trying to gather as much info as I can about Baja and the Sea of Cortez as we plan on at least our first two seasons spent there on a multihull (25’ beam) so haul out info would be helpful. Best wishes Gary & Ena

[@WEsail]

Hey guys super excited for your next adventure. We had to haul out in Guaymas because of how fat we are but I think you’re both size you would be able to haul out at the marina Secca in San Carlos. If you contact Marina San Carlos they might be able to let you know if you can haul out there.

[@tookthered1700]

Thanks for your reply I think our beam is wider than yours we are 25 feet wide that’s why I figured Guaymas was the only choice. Do you guys like the yard there?

[@tookthered1700]

42 foot length 25 feet wide catamaran

[@WEsail]

Ahhh okay well yes Guayamas is your best bet. The yard is dirt so the main concern is how dirty it gets while it’s on the hard. Otherwise the travel lift is big enough and it’s rather affordable there.

[@kirk9671]

Why did you decide not to sail your boat to hawaii? Can you get to the south pacific from there? (My concern where to put the boat in hawaii)

[@WEsail]

We would have loved too but our main reason was because we are a US registered vessel and have not brought the boat into US territory yet, and therefore would have had to pay the import taxes which we didn’t want to do. And sailing a big monohaul sounded fun!

[@kirk9671]

@@WEsail import tax.... New area of research. Thanks.

[@brettgraham1966]

👌👏👏👏

[@kenhughes2082]

Hmm... Will the next boat be a cat or a mono? :)

[@zzzxxzzz3248]

Why didn't you sail your own boat to Hawaii ? You can sail down to Tahiti from Hawaii and the rest of the south Pacific on to Australia and New Zealand ! I think your friendship with wolfhound will go down hill !

[@ianprice9005]

These whales are so beautiful and graceful hard to understand how they are still being killed 😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬in

[@js7127]

Love you all but interesting after all your pointing out how others should keep their distance from the whales as soon as they surface Warren is going full motor ahead to get a closer shot. Bad form and have seen it on other whale and dolphin encounters. Don't be those people.....

[@WEsail]

Good point good point, one thing to note is this: I think that the only time I motored at any speed is when the whale surfaced fairly far away, and I would slow down or turn away once we got a bit closer, while still remaining a comfortable distance from the whale, but again you’re right, they should never be chased

[@gregoryh4601]

Hate to Say this but See a Blue Whale in the Open Ocean is better Then S.

[@mrdave22]

just a little vomit came up in my mouth when you said whale worth it. cheesy! good vid, thumbs up

[@WEsail]

Haha only a little!?

[@robertschroeder3809]

No your boat is your boat big mistake

[@thewestcoastreckers7622]

Why are chasing and harassing this whale?

[@daveholley2156]

Wayne and Sheila Recker : By law they must stay minimum 300' away and it appears they did at least that ! If you see a deer,a squirrel, an armadillo and you take a picture with your telescopic lens are you "harassing" them ? If so the Audobon Society needs to be abolished ! Go out in your backyard and Hug Tree !

[@poolraider7211]

When did you see them close enough to cause any "harassment"? There are legal restrictions to distances of ships to sighted whales, all they seemed to do was fly the drone to get a better view. Besides that the whale had infinite options for escape to anywhere within the depths of the water. If it didn't want them there it would not have stayed.
