Coeur d’Alene-based sea kayaking guides connected in a personal if not spiritual way to a baby whale destined to die on a Mexico beach. “I’ll never forget the look in that eye,” said Michelle Darnell, back in the ROW Adventures office last week. She was working in January with kayaking guides Chris Garcia and Sam Morrison during a ROW Sea Kayak Adventures three-day trip to absorb the natural history in the famous gray whale mating and birthing waters of Magdalena Bay. Guests had booked the trip to bask in sunshine, paddle in ultra-blue ocean waters and observe gray whale cows close-up in nursery lagoons with their newborn calves. For no extra charge, they also got a front- row seat to a serious marine mammal drama/ Rich Landers , SR Outdoors. More here .
