Hello Whalewatchers,

Spyhopping gray whale in Laguna San Ignacio

A great day here Laguna San Ignacio! We started early with a trip to the mangroves, everyone had a fantastic time. After a brief break, we went off in search of whales. It couldn’t have been a more perfect combination of weather and whale sightings. There has been a constant flow of whales going by all morning. Everyone had an opportunity to get close to a whale! Here we have a panga full of whalewatchers and a close encounter with a cow and calf gray whale close to the Searcher.

We were also privileged to have Steve Swartz and his team come aboard for lunch, do a quick presentation and host a short Q&A. It is always great to have Steve aboard to tell everyone about his research here in the lagoon. You can go to their website www.SanIgnacioGraywhales.org and get the latest information about their research, and make a donation if you are in support of the work!

Hello again,
Our final day in Laguna San Ignacio ended with a visit from a mother and baby whale to the Searcher. It made my trip having the opportunity to interact with them! We got the brush out and I was able to scrub the calf with a brush.
Everyone had an awesome visit to Laguna San Ignacio, including me…it was another magical trip!
