March 13: Laguna San Ignacio

posted 3/13/2010

Hello whalewatchers,
Today was a perfect day in Laguna San Ignacio! Light winds all day. We started the day with a trip to the mangroves and everyone really enjoyed it. They saw all the usual birds with a coyote as the highlight.
The whalewatching was great with good conditions and everyone had a close encounter. The highlight of our stay was a whale hanging on our anchor line for a few hours and we recognize this whale from the past! It was the same whale that Kuyima named their company after 18 years ago. It has a white head and a bump on its lower left jaw that is easy to see. It displayed the same behavior as 18 years ago, rubbing on our anchor line for a long time. The whale did that in the past for several days and with other boats in the lagoon. I thought it was pretty special.
More tomorrow form outside Mag Bay,
