Hello whalewatchers:
Humpback whale flukes off Searcher’s bow
What a productive morning so far offshore Bahia Magdalena! We’ve seen 25-30 humpbacks, bottlenose dolphins, masked and brown boobies, sea turtles, shearwaters, frigatebirds and gulls. There has been plenty to keep us busy today.
The weather is awesome with light winds, no swell and sunny skies.

Hello again,
We had a great afternoon. Our beautiful weather continues and we’ve seen loads of sea turtles. We came across a sea turtle that had a white plastic bag wrapped around it. We positioned the boat to get the bag off with a gaff, but that wasn’t working. Capt Mike jumped over the side and as the turtle started to surface, he dove down to release the bag.
Abundant sea turtles offshore Bahia Magdalena
The turtle was startled and sped up away from Mike, and the bag came off the turtle. Mike got a gaff and dove down and snagged the bag. So Mike got the “Hero Award” today for saving the turtle and retrieving the bag. Way to go, Capt Mike!
Our day ended with a gorgeous sunset.
Capt Art and Team Searcher
