Hello whalewatchers:
Everything is going well for us this morning–we have great weather again! Passengers took a panga ride to the mangroves early this morning to start the day with some birding and photography. While we were having a break before going out to visit the whales, we had a curious whale visit the boat. We assume by its size, it is a single female. She hung out with us for awhile and everyone got a great looks at her. Naturalist Lee Morgan and Capt Ryan got in the skiff next to the Searcher and were able to scrub the whale with one of the deck brushes.
Curious gray whale in Laguna San Ignacio!
Afternoon update:
We finished the day today with a either a beach walk or a whalewatch. Everyone had a great experience here in Laguna San Ignacio with close encounters with gray whales, bird watching in the mangroves and a beach walk on Punta Brounough.
Happy whalewatchers return to Searcher. New pangas are roomy!
We are headed south for a day at sea to look for whales, dolphins, birds and sea turtles.
More tomorrow,
Team Searcher
