Greetings whalewatchers,
Today we arrived at the bar outside San Ignacio and were greeted by numerous spouts and small surf. After crossing the bar and heading to the observation area, we saw a good number of whales. The whale count was up 50% from are previous trip. Friendly whales and singles were the order of the day. Once the passengers were off on the pangas most of the people experienced a friendly whale or two! The lagoon was calm, the sun was out and there was no shortage of whale activity. Most of the activity consisted of breaching and spy hopping. It’s “lights out” tonight and we will see what tomorrow has in store for us.

Greetings whalewatchers,
San Ignacio day #2: Last night we shut down all the engines and gazed at about a million stars and listened to the whales blowing in the dark. Today was a busy day starting with good whalewatching from Searcher. As soon as we got people in the pangas there was plenty of action including friendly whale activity. After a morning of great whales some people went birding in the mangroves and some went ashore to explore one of the many beaches. We made our exit in the late afternoon accompanied by an escort of dozens of gray whales. We’ll travel all night and spend tomorrow offshore.
Capt Buzz and Team Searcher
