Drove over to Lopes Mateos yesterday to see gray whales and babies. Watched a couple for an hour then drove back to Loreto. It is a 2 - 2.5 hour drive from Loreto over the mountain to the Pacific side. The babies were young and their mommas kept them close, but not next to the boat. The babies swam next to mamma. While we were watching one baby swam away from mamma and came over to see us. Then mamma swam back, came along side the boat, gathered her baby and they both swam away.
One of the whales did a "spyhop". I had heard of that, but never seen one. The whales head came straight up out of the water for several seconds to look around.
