Hello whalewatchers,
Another fantastic day in Laguna San Ignacio! We started our day with a cow and calf visiting the Searcher at 4 am and staying for three hours. (The captain on early morning watch liked this!) We started earlier with a trip out in the pangas at 7 am and everyone had a close encounter with multiple whales around the pangas.
We offered a mangrove trip on the high tide for our second trip and we sent two pangas there and 1 panga out whalewatching. We had a break for lunch and then another trip to visit the whales. Our last trip we sent one panga to the beach and two pangas out for whales. The beach group located a whale carcass that had to be uncovered by the strong north wind a few days ago so a few of us had a look at the carcass. Next trip it might be more visible.
All in all, it was a wonderful visit to this magical place. It is hard to leave Laguna San Ignacio. The crew and I are blessed that we get to come back in a couple of weeks.
The weather has been great for both days and the forecast looks great for the next day or two.
Looking forward to looking offshore tomorrow.
