CABO EXPEDITIONS RESCUES HUMPBACK WHALE!
Trapped Whale in Fish Net Saved…

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico — Each year, the migration of thousands of whales from the cooling arctic oceans migrate to the warm waters surrounding the Baja Peninsula where the Pacific Ocean meets with the Sea of Cortez.  Annually, from the beginning of December through approximately the second week of April, Los Cabos becomes the Mecca for whale watching on water or sightings from land at local resorts or hotels.
 
These incredible mammals celebrate over a 10,000-mile journey each year and then repeat this natural process.  Once in a while, a whale will get tangled in a fishing net dozens of miles from the shore.  For some time now, fishermen and their nets have been monitored in Mexico by a variety of governmental agencies who implement standardized regulations.  Fishermen always abide with the fishing regulations but sometimes, a whale will not recognize the hazard and gets tangled inadvertently.  

On the morning of February 8th, 2011, an unfortunate whale probably miles upon miles from shore was caught up in a fisherman’s net.  Oftentimes, a whale’s natural tendency can be to swim to shore whereas they may beach themselves.  In this instance, it seemed very likely that this adult-male Humpback whale was headed to the shore with a 75% chance of drowning or being beached had Cabo Expeditions and the Mexican Navy not gotten to it in time. 

Around 10 A.M. local time, a number of phone calls were made from local fishermen on their fishing boats and other whale watching companies to Cabo Expeditions with a whale in distress.  Immediately, the SCUBA diving, boat captain and marine biologist teams prepared themselves.  Administrators at Cabo Expeditions notified the Mexican Navy who works in conjunction with whale-rescue efforts.

Cabo Expeditions is one of our favorite vendors for whale watching.  We have booked with them since 1998 and always had a fantastic experience.

Thanks Cabo Expeditions for some great memories and thanks what you do to save the whales.  This isn’t the first time you have come to the rescue of a whale.

Casa Rafael’s

Casa Rafael’s is another one of our favorite restaurants in town and the bonus is the piano bar where Juan Carlo entertains.  This eclectic restaurant, bar and boutique hotel is located in downtown Cabo in a 1960’s era turquoise building.  There are several dining areas and one that features an enormous aquarium.  A quartet serenades diners during dinner and Juan Carlos can be found in the piano bar decorated as a house of mirrors.  The menu features continental cuisine with a Mexican flare.  Select from chicken Allison, Cornish Game Hen, seafood entries and steaks.  Desserts arrive on a tray that includes tiramisu, triple chocolate cake and other scrumptious selections.  The wine list has a variety of Napa Valley Californians to French chateaus. 

For a great evening out with delicious food and excellent entertainment try Casa Rafael’s.
Located between Hacienda Cabo San Lucas and Marina Sol Condos

Miguel Locos Grill and Cantina

Miguel Locos is located across the street from the town square on Hidalgo St at km 0 in downtown Cabo San Lucas.  I love their home made tortilla soup among other choices.  The menu has a good variety of choices, the service is good and the people are friendly.  Miguel Locos is owned and run by U.S. expat Mike Hill and his beautiful wife, Josefina, a member of one of Cabo San Lucas’s oldest families.   Miguel Locos’ recently launched Tequila Arco del Cabo, a potent blend packaged in Land’s End-shaped bottles.  Next time you are in Cabo stop in Miguel Loco for a bite to eat.  Many times Josefina and Mike are there and are always willing to share their stories about the area.
