The Searcher crew, 24 passengers, and 2 naturalists will be heading out tomorrow night on our first 12-day excursion for 2013. Joining us as far as Laguna San Ignacio will be Steven Swartz, long-time Searcher friend and gray whale researcher.

We love this 30-year-old news clipping of him in the lagoon, photographing whales in 1983. (Thanks to Linda for that!)

If you click the link below you can read up on his current research (2012) in this special place. He does wonderful work for the whales and people in Laguna San Ignacio!
