“The Whale Said Thankyou!”

The Whale Said “Thank You”

“If you read a recent front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines.

She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the  Farallon   Islands   (outside the  Golden Gate  ) and radioed an environmental group for help.

Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.
When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles.

She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around ~she was thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding  you.“

A good friend passed this story along to me and I just loved it. It made me think of all the people out there who are “weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps” …

like the trap of the ever increasing cost of living in the USA and Canada, like the trap of higher and higher taxes each year and like the trap of horrible weather and the related hydro/electric or gas or oil costs associated with the bad weather.

It seems that more and more of my friends in the USA and Canada are struggling to stay afloat.

Well, help is on the way if that’s how you feel.

You don’t have to radio me for help to free you… but if you send me an e mail I can react in just a few hours, like the rescue team above to dive in and untangle things and help you understand everything you need to know about our little slice of paradise here at Lake Chapala Ajijic, Mexico.

I promise to work for hours to find you just the right home at the right price so you will be as happy as a whale swimming in joyous circles you will be so happy to be free from the “traps” up North to live a well deserved comfortable life here at Lake Chapala Ajijic, Mexico.
