The Whales are on their way - again...

For those of you over in the UK who have been asking, the two whales that visited Sacramento the other week are, as far as we know, out in the ocean and on their way north. They were in San Francisco Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday and then they were gone and the assumption is that they are out at sea. So a happy ending to this story, for now at least (who knows how weakened they were to spend that much time in fresh water).

It was interesting that all attempts to coax them along seemed to be to no avail. They moved when they wanted to and they didn't pay much notice to the banging of pipes, spraying of water, piped in sounds of killer whales or anything else we foisted on them.
