Whales Surprise Baja Paddlers | Expedition Raw


there’s humpbacks like I think they’re
going to come up under me right now I
don’t know where they went they’re so
close oh oh
live we’re paddling maybe 50 yards away
from each other and Brian sees these two
humpbacks just kind of like checking us
out
curious the most magical thing I think
I’ve ever experienced the Baha project
was really an effort to like get to know
Baja in the most intimate way possible
carrot venture we did 600 miles of
hiking and 400 miles of stand-up paddle
because 111 days the first five days of
the stand-up paddle were the worst of
the trip like I was paddling and
literally going nowhere pretty much on a
treadmill because the wind and the waves
were just keeping me in one one area
we got caught on this island for about
three days during heavy wings it was
really bad you’re good and on the fourth
day it was clear that it was gonna stay
calm for at least like a couple hours
and we were really breaking it to make
it to the other side because we didn’t
know when this wind was going to pick up
again like if we were to get into
trouble there it would be unlikely that
we would survive and so we were actually
taking a big risk in stopping for these
whales holy crap how do we been safe and
just continued to paddle to shore
thinking about the wind the whole time
we would have never been able to
interact with these humpbacks like you
did if you’re too cautious you’re gonna
miss out there’s something about the
misadventure that kind of makes up the
whole adventure my mind is blown right
now yeah pretty crazy
