Hello whalewatchers:
Good afternoon,
We departed Ensenada just before breakfast this morning after checking in with Mexican customs. It did not take long to start seeing southbound gray whales. We got on a group of five that were very easy to watch. After a few good looks we continued on.
Just before lunch we stopped to look at a trio of curious humpback whales. We ended up shutting the boat down and drifting for over a hour. They swam around and under the boat the whole time. They never got more than 100ft from the boat.
We’ve enjoyed pretty amazing looks so far today. We’re headed for Isla San Benito now. We’ll see what the rest of the day brings.
Captain Mike and the boys
