Tour #1 (Feb 7-18, 2019) – Laguna San Ignacio, day 1

Hello whalewatchers,

We had a great today with calm seas and light winds. Navigating the lagoon’s entrance was similar to last year and so we had an easy journey in to anchor among the gray whales. After we anchored, two small boats (pangas) arrived to take the first whalewatching trip out by 8:30 this morning. We were able to get four trips in the pangas today. There were close encounters between gray whales and passengers on many of the trips. Everyone is very happy in the galley this evening and the happy hour flag is up!

We were lucky to have an adult gray whale breach close to the boat and that is our photo of the day.
