The US marine law was passed a few years ago to protect whales from over-eager too-close whale watchers. The law covers all coastal water not just a single state or region. It wasn't so much small boaters such as kayakers but larger power boats which were harassing whales by getting to close.
So to keep from having confusing boat size restraints it was decided to ban all boats from directly approaching the whales.
Neither you nor the whale will be fined if the whale approaches you. It is permissible to paddle in front of the whale path (more than 300 ft as you cross the path) and allow the whale to swim up and past you.
@tidewv I believe you are correct... yet, in Santa Cruz they made that law recently, due to the abundance of people getting "to close" to the whales... either way it's a great experience... I wouldn't take it back! Happy Holidays!
@HALIBU77 thanks man... Love the yak!!! Great couple videos you had too!!! Thanks for putting me in that one... need to get more footage...lol.... Can't wait to fish again!!!
Wow-that freeze frame @ 2:09 looked like a ship sinking! I think I probably would have s#&t my pants and ran on the water back to shore! Damn!
