1000 Whales - The Book Journey Continues

I mentioned in my last blog a month ago that I'd written about finding 1000 whales in one year.

The book is now for sale in multiple formats and locations. You can buy it in print, from me; in a special cover version from the Hornblower Cruises company; or from a friend who has read and tired of it, or online in the iBook store.

I started up a website called 1 K in 1 Yr, or 1kin1yr.com and on that site you can find samples of the book artwork, text pages, and videos.

I guess I'd better give you a nice 1-minute video at this point, as seeing and hearing the whales seems to appeal to most everyone...




In addition to videos, most folks like to see whales jumping out of the water (breaching) like these whales I saw yesterday:




(We don't know exactly why they do this, but the whales seem to enjoy it.)

And people like to see whale flukes or tails:


Can we finish with 3 tails?

One Thousand Whales in One Year

I haven't posted much on this site this year, because I have been busy out on the water. Watching whales. In fact, together with my even-more-fanatical pal Scotty, we've spotted about 1000 whales off the coast of San Diego.

And then I decided to write a book about it. Sigh. There goes my retirement!

Here are some sample pages [click any image to enlarge it]












The first copies are coming off the press this week, and we will see how it goes from there.
