March 12: Laguna San Ignacio

posted 3/12/2010

Hello whalewatchers,
Today was our first day in Laguna San Ignacio. It is always great to come back to this special place. Crossing the bar was uneventful since we had a high tide. There were plenty of gray whales out by the entrance and, as usual, plenty of whales were present around Rocky Point, our anchorage area.
The weather was glorious with clear skies and no wind for about four hours in the middle of the day==great weather for whalewatching.
Everyone enjoyed some good whalewatching from the pangas, and a few people had a close encounter with a cow and calf.
Heading to the mangroves in the morning.
Looking forward to tomorrow,
Capt Art
