Hello whalewatchers,
Today we had great weather with light winds and calm seas. We started out with a few dolphins and a few shearwaters. The morning started a little slow and then we got started! First it was a pair of humpbacks and then a single blue whale that we had a really good looks at. Then a few more humpbacks and then the usual slow period south of the entrance to Bahia Magdalena. We came across a Bryde’s whale and then shortly after that a fin whale. So we have seen four different species of baleen whales just today.
There were plenty of pink-footed shearwaters and the further south we got more red phalaropes, jaegers and frigatebirds. The tally on the phalaropes reached into the thousands.
We came across another Bryde’s whale that gave us a good look and then the finale with a very large blue whale that we were able to stay with. We had some excellent looks up close of this blue whale and that made everyone very happy.
The sunset is fabulous and we are looking forward to some more whales tomorrow.
