I was stand up paddling just off the goleta beach.  Out of the
corner of my eye, I spotted what i thought was a seal rolling on
the surface.  It turned out to be a baby whale.  I paddled along
beside it for 1/4 of a mile as it left the beach area and headed
back out into the santa barbara channel.  Its mother was no where
in sight.  I contacted animal rescue agencies when I got a shore
but they could not help it without its mother.  


I am very much in favor of using less power and slowing our speed
so we can protect this planet and the animals on it.  This should
always be our priority.  I hope you will paddle out on your closest
beach and get close to what it is you are voting about.  It is most
certainly one of the ways you can help yourself to wind down from
the job that you are called upon to do.  Good luck in your efforts
to hold on to what is good.  even if it is a tree that stands
alone.
