Hi Tony, what an amazing presenter and photographer you are, I have been enjoying your stories for about 2 weeks and I have absolutely fallen in love with them. Sadly I can't afford one of your wonderful boats to duplicate some of your amazing journeys but you have inspired to me to look closer to home to find journeys I can manage, maybe sometime in the future I can do more. Thank you for sharing your stories and life with us.
If you want we can get together on weekends or little times free and get to start building our own boats..I want to explore the transparent policarbonate boats and why not create policarbonate submarines
This is very inspiring. I live in California and certain times of the year, we can spot their migration off Big Sur and Lucia. Obviously, we should go see them in Baja!
Why do they keep splashing water at their faces? That seemed really irritating. Kept wondering if they were going to splash water hard into the whales' eyes. People should be more calm to them.
Thanks for the info. Your video is great.I just worried that they'd splash them in their eyes. It's cool that the whales are so friendly. Just hope they avoid the whaling boats though.
Wonderful Film. Humans designed and built the Boat the Engine and the Camera to capture these wonderful encounters.. They also designed the Harpoon`s that killed Millions of these Beautiful Animals....It is a strange World, so Beautiful and yet so Horrible????? :-))) xx
Actually we do have most of my videos available for purchase on line. Go to Flemingyachts.com and click the first tab labeled "About Us". From the drop down menu click "Our Store". Scroll down and you will see a bunch of DVD's. However, having just checked the list, I see that it needs to be updated to add the latesr videos. Also I think we need to revise the price downwards so hold off ordering anything until the end of March.
I just returned from a 3 week trip to Baja California Sur and the Sea of Cortez. We went to Magdalena Bay where we were fortunate to go out in pangas and stroke the whales! Once in a lifetime!
I attempted to make it clear in the video that the boats do not go to the whales. It is the whales that come to the boats and in some cases the mother whales actually lift their young so they can be touched by people in the boats. No, I do not find it problematic. It is entirely up to the whales whether they want people to touch them and their calves. It is a wonderful and rare interaction between species.
The whole area is very tightly controlled regarding the number of boats and how long they can stay out. The boats are not permitted to approach the whales but must wait for the whales to approach them - if they wish to do so. The guides on the boats encourage the guests to splash as it attracts the whales and it is very evident that the whales enjoy it. Some mother whales actually park their young beside the boats and then back off to get some relief from the burdens of motherhood.
That is obvious. We were not there to observe trained circus animals. Whether the whales chose to approach the boats was entirely their choice and there was no guarantee that they would do so. People who go on trips like this understand this.
"Our hosts prevented the construction of a massive salt production facility, like this one [photographed] just north of here..." Oh, so that NEAR BY facility doesn't interfere with your whale-watching leisure. "...While there are many places where common salt can be produced, there is only one unspoilt place in the world where humans can interact with whales and their young." I doubt that, seriously.
Whales say stop splashing and scrape some of those barnacles off!
What a beautiful story. God's creation is so mysterious and marvelous. To think that the whales would want to interact with us humans.
Isn't it wonderful how nature has the same curiosity towards us humans as we do for them? Well done. 😊

TOUCH ME, HUMAN

What a special treat. Thank you so much.
Absolutely fascinating. You remind me of Jacque Cousteau or maybe Ernest Hemingway.
i love watching adults get all gleeful like children.... marvelous... whales might be playing with us!.....
The beauty of nature and interaction with the world's biggest mammal 🥰
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
They not givend up with us ! such a large creaser in a gentle way careful with the boat,show precisie.
Thanks for the VIDEOS 👍🤩😍😋😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🌞🌛😇😇😇😇😇😇
Why do they keep splashing water at their faces? That seemed really irritating. Kept wondering if they were going to splash water hard into the whales' eyes. People should be more calm to them.
The guides ask the people in the boats to do this. For some reason it attracts the whales and they seem to enjoy the water being splashed on them.
Thanks for the info. Your video is great.I just worried that they'd splash them in their eyes. It's cool that the whales are so friendly. Just hope they avoid the whaling boats though.
Thank you Tony Flemming !
Wonderful adventure. Really incredible! Thank you for bringing us right with you. Awesome!!
What happens when all the people are sitting on the same side of the boat? leaning outward?
Nothing happens. The pangas do not flip over like you might fear.

have you ever thought of making DVDs because I know I would buy them I’m sure a lot of other people will. Great work.

Do those barnacles hurt them? Or whatever they are?
All the adults we saw have them. I don't believe it does them any actual harm although I am sure they would prefer they not be there.
Why are people always slashing water at them?
Thank you for sharing. It is a beautiful video.l

You gonna need a bigger boat
STOP FREAKING SPLASHING THEM! They come up to breath. Just pet them gently!

Do you find it problematic that people touch the animals?

Why do they keep splashing the whale with water? I sincerely want to know. Love this video!! ❤️

Why were you told to avoid high expectations?
That is obvious. We were not there to observe trained circus animals. Whether the whales chose to approach the boats was entirely their choice and there was no guarantee that they would do so. People who go on trips like this understand this.
"Our hosts prevented the construction of a massive salt production facility, like this one [photographed] just north of here..."

Very nice place 👍👍👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Excellent, thank you.
So lovely God's BLESSINGS
So sad to hear of this great lose...man stirkes again!!!
Wow,..just wow,.. Lol I wanna jump in the water and start scrapin those barnacles off!
Has anyone ever attempted to pull or scrape some of the barnacles off either by hand or with a brush or something?
I can love. All you do except eating Seafood. Because so many whales die from fishnets .its not worth it to me.
Why would you splash water on a creature that lives in the ocean? smh
Sometimes the music is very depressing.
👍😍😍😍
Das wäre mein traum
Veliké štěstí *
I am a whale too and i urgently inquire you guys to remove this fking barnacles of us. We don't want to cuddle .

Sorry, but the too-lengthy females-baby-talking-to-whales segment is kinda pathetic; shorten!
