Summer, continued...
San Francisco!
In August my husband Kevin and I flew to San Francisco where our daughter, Bethany, now lives. I was thrilled to share The Eye of the Whale during two big events at the Marine Mammal Center (the organization responsible for the whale rescue) - Marine Science Sunday and Race for the Seals.
It was wonderful to connect with the many volunteers and people at these events.
Here I am telling this group the story of The Eye of the Whale.
I am posing with two volunteers in front of the life-size humpback whale tail that I bring to events.
Here is my 'roadie' Kevin, my husband, setting up the pvc-pipe structure behind the humpback whale's tail in one of the Marine Mammal Center's classrooms.
I loved this dog's Killer Whale costume at the Race For the Seals!
Many people and their dogs came in costumes.
I also gave a presentation and had a book signing at the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. Here I am giving my slide presentation which includes photos of the actual whale rescue.
I re-connected with James Moskito, the diver who was featured in The Eye of the Whale and
his partner, Holly Drouillard, who was also a crew member on the Superfish.
I was excited to meet the librarians and families when presenting at three branches of the San Francisco Public Library. Below is the Portola Branch. I also presented at the Main Branch and the Ortega Branch.
It was a fantastic trip. A highlight was climbing Mount Tamalpais
with our daughter, Bethany, and her boyfriend, Andy.
