In the Sea of Cortez, we sometimes encounter schools of mobula rays that are swimming by the boat in the above photo by Richard Crossen. In addition, they pop up out the water without warning which makes for a photographic challenge! Click MORE to see that up-close photo by Rich!
Sharing 2012 Photos and Videos
We are really enjoying passenger photos and videos from our 2012 season. Thank you! Sharing one here from Richard Crossen (http://www.richardcrossenphotography.co.uk). It shows Jose Angel and a baby gray whale next to our skiff. The whale calf has its mouth open so the white baleen feeding apparatus is showing. Jose Angel (son of a long-time friend and colleague in Laguna San Ignacio) came for a short visit and was right at home with his gray whale neighbors. The calf probably got its sensitive tongue and lips rubbed by Jose Angel. They seem to like that!
