We came to Baja California for a journey called remarkable
Zodiacs to the shore and across the dunes we eagerly all did go
Our first day of capturing images and memories aplenty
How did I get this much sand stuck in odd places all over me?
Bouncing North to San Ignacio hoping for friendly gray whales
They didn’t disappoint and now we have new stories and tales
Rubbery soft gray whales, with dimples and singular hairs
Approaching our boats for a scratching, they always came in pairs
Belly flopping Mobula rays, squirting random from the sea
Can you catch one before splash down? Better check that shutter speed
Contortionists wearing whiskers were our watery sea lion friends
We joined them in their element, donning wet suits, masks, and fins
We lumped north from windy Estanque, for walks upon dry land
We found spiky puffs of smoke trees strewn amongst the arroyo sands
At San Pedro Martir bobitos feed on anxiety and despair
In our wake we left them, for dolphins catching serious air
The winds of the north were gusting; we needed to find a lee
Jack found shelter for us, behind lucky door number three
Shadowy polka-dot plankton feeders, with a scythe of a dorsal fin
He whooped and hollered with gusto when we threw Carlos and his camera in
Splashing sperm whales, triplet blue whales, remarkable sightings have been the rule
Contemplate the calendar and question, could this all be an April’s Fool?
