The Baja California Sur state prosecutor’s office says the collision with the whale less than two kilometres from the Cabo San Lucas resort tossed the victim into the water.

She was probably in favor of oil pipelines or something and Gaia smacked her down.

Some of those boats are pretty small. Larger boats are prevented from getting too close to the whales.

A few years ago, my wife and I took a whale watching boat trip in the same area.

These boat captains often apparently get in macho contests to see who can get closest to the whales when they come up for air. We were too close legally and for safety. We got splashed a couple of times.
