Hello whalewatchers:
The map shows Searcher‘s position (circled in red) on this day, as recorded by satellite by a friend in San Diego.
We’ve had a productive morning offshore Bahia Magdalena! For the birders, we’ve been sighting brown boobies, Craveri’s murrelets, and pink-footed shearwaters. A few humpback whales have been breaching in the distance, then there’s an occasional sea turtle and then we were served a gourmet lunch by Charley and Dan. On the menu was stuffed eggplant with mozzarella cheese and spinach on a bed of lentils with a bolognese sauce and fresh bread.
Lunch is served!
Well done, chefs!
But the highlight was a blue whale for dessert! The boys on the roof saw the blows far in the distance. It was down for 20 minutes before it surfaced again., but we were able to follow it closely because of the clear blue water. We could keep track of the whale visually underwater and follow it for several minutes until it surfaced again. Some fine photography took place by our guests.
Blue whale off the bow!
Team Searcher
