Hello whalewatchers,
It’s our second day in Laguna San Ignacio, the gray whale winter lagoon.
We sent a group of birders to the mangroves first thing this morning and everyone had a great trip with lots of birds seen. Another panga with whalewatchers went out and had a great trip also. We had a break and sent the whole group out whalewatching. We all enjoyed lots of sightings and saw all the usual gray whale behaviors. After lunch the group went to the beach for a walk and a look at a gray whale carcass from earlier in the season.
Here is our highlight with a curious whale visiting the Searcher again for at least an hour. The crew got the deck brush out and gave the whale a scratch on the head.
We are departing this afternoon and heading south tonight.
Captain Art and Team Searcher
