### August 21, 2019

The day before yesterday Jim Berry called and told me there were two adult whales and a baby just offshore from our Punta Penca.   Then last night I saw this story about a baby whale tangled in a net out by the Catalina Islands (also nearby):

I wonder if it was the same whales?   Don't worry, there is a happy ending.   Two boat loads of people helped free the whale from the lines!
