Howdy whalewatchers,
We saw something new and exciting today – a group of manta rays just swimming around in circles on the surface in flat, calm blue water.
We also saw bottlenose dolphin riding the bow again, then we went ashore at Los Frailes this afternoon to go on a walk led by Ian Rowlands and Rob Nawojchik, and then into the water for our first snorkel of the trip.
This is an amazing location for snorkeling, part of the Cabo Pulmo National Park. The passengers saw a variety of colorful and active reef wildlife during the swim. After our snorkel we went north into the Sea of Cortez to make our northbound trek and saw a couple of humpbacks – one even jumped off in the distance. Chef Charley capped off our day with rack of lamb for dinner – it was delicious!
We are headed to La Paz to go look for whale sharks and swim with sea lions at Los Islotes. Should be another great day on the water tomorrow!
