Oarfish are rarely seen by humans, and, like
other marine life, their visibility close to shore may be an indication of
their distress. Wikipedia tells me that
the very elongated oarfish may run anywhere from 10 to 30-feet in length and occasionally weigh up to
four or five hundred pounds.
Oarfish recently have appeared in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez (aka as the Gulf of California and made famous by Steinbeck in his 1951 non-fiction work, The Log from the Sea of Cortez). View this Un-Cruise video to see an oarfish in action.

Between
November and March, Un-Cruise offers two, 7-day itineraries on the Sea of
Cortez. These sailings provide wonderful
opportunities to experience raw beauty, active adventure, authentic culture,
and wildlife—sea turtles, boobies, pelicans, frigate birds, blue whales, gray
whales, orca, humpback, pilot and fin whales, whale sharks, dolphins, mantas,
and sea lions. Kayak in coastal mangroves and glassy coves. Hike along
cactus-clad rims and among desert scrub. Snorkel alongside playful sea lions
and colorful invertebrates. And in a picturesque setting of red rock cliffs,
discover a centuries-old town or relax on a white-sand beach.
This all-inclusive Un-Cruise experience
models the line’s commitment to experiences that are Un-rushed,
Un-crowded and Un-believable. For more
about the itineraries, view this additional Un-Cruise video.
