As everyone here in Sacramento now knows, a couple of whales got way off track in their migration up the coast to Alaska and ended up in the Sacramento harbor. Somehow a week or so ago they got into the San Francisco Bay, and carried on up the Sacramento River, and then into the Ship Channel to the end of the line in the Sacramento Harbor. That’s about 90 miles out of their way.
This morning I went over to the harbor to see what they were up to. They were not up to much - just going round and round and catching a breath every now and again. However, the occasion is causing a lot of interest in the community and even at 7:00 in the morning there were crowds of people there to watch the specatacle.
Hopefully, later in the week, these directionally challenged whales will be coaxed back down stream to the Bay and put back on their way north.
