Hello there,
Our first day of the 2010 Laguna San Ignacio whale season started with great weather and a uneventful entrance into the lagoon. There is an abundance of gray whales here already in the second week of Feburary! The last local census reported 130 whales in the lagoon.
We observed lots of activity including mating trios, breaching, spyhopping and more of the usual behaviors for this time of the year. Our pangas did have a close encounter with a curious cow and calf pair this afternoon and everyone enjoyed that.
The weather is good, with light winds with a little rain today. There are also a lot of bottlenose dolphin around.
Looking forward to tomorrow with the forecast also looking good.
We hope to start the day with a trip to the mangroves at sunrise.
