Whales in The Bay

March 8, 2012 Fleet #1 Admin News

StFYC sent this out after a mom and her calf were spotted along the city front. Spring One Design racers (Note: Take advantage of early sign up and save $50) should keep an eye out and give these creatures some space. It’s the law, and impaling whales is slow.

St. Francis Yacht Club: We received a message from NOAA today to remind everyone to watch out for and steer clear of whales. Whales are frequently found in large numbers in the springtime. Boaters should not approach within 300ft of a whale; cut across a whale’s path; or get between a whale cow and her calf. Please enjoy these amazing creatures from a safe and respectable distance.
