Hump Back Whale Gets Ran Over Under Golden Gate Bridge 6/28/17
By Ryan Clapper
I was in San Francisco last week with my wife and we decided to hike the Golden Gate Bridge. About half way up we realized there were 3 to 4 humpback whales feeding in the bay below us. A boater was cruising by at high speed and never slowed down. He may have seen one of the whales breathing far away and tried to get closer for a photo and went right over a humpback. SFPD works on the bridge and I made them aware of the situation. We couldn’t get a vessel number from the boat since it was so far away. So I emailed a photo to the SFPD and a local news station that aired it the next day. I’m not sure If they will be able to catch the boater and slap him with a fine but I’m glad the image helped make people aware that these huge animals are in the area.
Big Sur
Half Moon Bay seemed like the only game in town along
these huge jetties with plenty of wind blockage from a ton of NW wind.
