Hello whalwatchers,
Today was another magical day in Laguna San Ignacio. We had good weather for most of the day that allowed us to get in some really good whalewatching. There are a lot of cows and calves for this time of the year with the census done two days ago and the results were 117 cow calf pairs and 7 singles, for a total of 241 whales in the lagoon. I certainly can’t remember ever seeing these numbers this late in the season.
Everyone had a close encounter on every trip today and the calves are the highlight . We also had at least two different cows and calves visit the Searcher for long periods of time and so the whale watching from the boat was excellent. We were able to get the scrub brush out and scratch the whales with it again this trip.
We did things a little differently today in the afternoon with the tide dictating our trip to the mangroves. We had a high tide this afternoon so the group went to the mangroves after a whalewatch trip after lunch. It sounded like a great trip with a long bird list.
Looking forward to tomorrow,
