About Me

The city of Dana Point is known as “The Whale Watching capital of the world”.  In 2020 a local company, Dana Wharf Whale Watching offered an annual pass for $450.  I couldn’t pass it up.  I purchased the pass and jumped on a boat every chance I got,    I fell in love with the wildlife the ocean offered.   On one occasion we were off shore with two other boats observing a whale and a lone paddle boarder joined us.   In that moment I knew that’s what I wanted to do.  How special would it be to be that close to the water with whales and dolphins.  No motors, no people – just a three inch high piece of wood to separate me from a 100 foot blue whale.  That dream became my passion and for the next three years I learned to paddle,  read wind reports, and navigate the ocean.   On August 24th, 2022 my dream came true and I had the opportunity to paddle with a blue whale.  It was a life changing experience and it’s what fuels my passion today.
