I'm on the left coast, and I just came in from paddling with one of my whale friends - the one I call Spot (obviously, he's got a prominent spot). There are eight resident Gray Whales here (WA coast), and I have the honor of paddling with them almost every day. During the Spring migration, there are many whales coming through, and I enjoy paddling with all of them, but the locals and I are good friends, and it's really special to be able to hang out with them. A couple of them let me touch them, and one likes to play with my boaty - by gently pushing the bow around. I would really love to paddle in Maine sometime (and about a thousand other places around the world) - so do tell us all about it!

Hey weebee, Welcome to a list that has many of the best features of "family." My wife & I have a big soft spot for Maine. It's where we first encountered kayaking. We've since returned twice -- paddling in the beautiful islands off Stonington, in Muscongus Bay, and in the midcoast area (Rockport-Camden) with friends who moved there recently from Connecticut. Paddling in your backyard is sheer delight. Glad you're with us.
