Dear whalewatchers:
After a beautiful sunrise at Isla Cerralvo, we had perfect ocean conditions but very little wildlife action for the morning. However things heated up around lunchtime as we found bottlenose dolphins with a juvenile humpback, several more humpbacks, and even a trio of humpbacks (mother, calf and escort) that allowed us to observe them for more than an hour. The calf surfaced often right next to the boat.
We travelled south to find more whales and also found a large school of smooth-tailed mobula rays that swam right under the surface and also right next to the boat. Every few minutes one would leap out of the water, challenging the photographers. But the water clarity let us follow the entire school for about 30 minutes.
At sunset, two humpbacks joined a single after it breached several times for all to see. We watched a trio into the sunset to end our day.
Tonight we’ll share our last dinner and stories from this fun trip.
