Dear whalewatchers:

We arrived in Laguna San Ignacio this morning and were greeted by many gray whale cow-calf pairs. There were several pairs to watch all day long, and many of them wanted to interact with passengers in the pangas. We are so grateful to be here for one more trip, and share this magical place with people from all over the world. Close encounters, seeing eye-to-eye, capturing breaches and spyhops with a camera, watching how cows care for their calves, and enjoying the view from sea level in the pangas and aboard Searcher at anchor filled our day today. More to come tomorrow. Today’s photo is Capt Art with a gray whale.

Team Searcher
