February 26: Laguna San Ignacio

posted 2/26/2010

Hello whalewatchers,
Another magical day in Laguna San Ignacio! The sun is shining, the winds are light, it doesn't get much better than this weather-wise.
We started the day with a trip into the mangroves to look at the birds. Everyone that went enjoyed the trip. They came back to a wonderful Eggs Benedict breakfast.
There are a lot of whales here--a census done yesterday reports there are 186 whales with 8 cow/calf pairs in the lagoon.
Everyone had a close encounter this morning and we had a group go to the beach in the afternoon. I joined them and had a great walk on a beach with no one else there. There aren't too many places in the world where you can do that.
Another great visit to Laguna San Ignacio!
We are heading south tonight to look for different whales.
More tomorrow,
Capt Art
