Hello whalewatchers,
We arrived to Laguna San Ignacio this morning after breakfast and were greeted by lots of life outside the lagoon–birds and dolphins feeding on small bait fish, gray whales and calm weather.
After we anchored inside the lagoon, we sent the pangas out right away and everyone had a close encounter with a whale on the first trip! That doesn’t happen every time we are here, so it was truly special. A mother and calf gray whale came by the boat as you can see in the photo.
The recent census from March 10 reported 48 singles and 89 mother/calf pairs, for a total of 226 gray whales.
More later,
Team Searcher
