Whale watching – special Baja waiting edition

Yes, we're on the Pacific. It looks just like a typical SF day.

Whale watching in the Baja. Yes, we’re on the Pacific. It looks just like a typical SF day. Fish tacos when we returned to shore were 5 star Yelp worthy. This footage, however…

Well, there’s always next time. But what to do with all that beautiful uneventful 1080p 24fps Canon T2i footage?

(Quick tip: when you park your rental car next to the ocean, in the middle of nowhere, and about 3 hours away from Loreto, be sure to turn off your headlights. Jumper cables are not exactly common, and the nearest Canadian Tire is eons away.)
