Hello whalewatchers,

We spent the day watching humpback whales today in the Gorda Banks area. We also stopped and deployed the hydrophone and we listened to humpbacks singing. That is always a special moment when you first hear a whale on the speaker system. We spent some time with a mother and calf, or you could say they spent time with us. We had great looks at the pair along with another adult that was the escort.
We anchored at Punta Arena for a beach walk and a snorkel session to test out the snorkel gear prior to arriving in La Paz to view the whales sharks there.

Hello whalewatchers,

We had a lovely day with whale sharks to start the day. Then there were cheeseburgers and fries for lunch followed by common dolphins, a skiff ride and snorkel session at Los Islotes with the sea lions, frigatebirrds, boobies and yellow-footed gulls. The finale of our day was a tremendous sunset.
