We headed over to GN and stayed at Hotel Baja Oasis a couple nights ago. My grandson Izaak made immediate friends with one of our guests Sammy!
I am happy to report that the road to the lagoon is freshly graded and the whale signs are up to direct you out to the lagoon.
The Ejido campground is in great shape and it was so nice to be back there and the weather was perfect!
It seems the whales are arriving a bit late but we saw a couple whales in front of the camp spyhopping and about a dozen of them from the panga. I got
several photo ID's of the newcomers. WE also saw a mating trio and a nice big breach!
We saw 3 mothers with calves about a week or two old and the best encounter we had was with this Mom who had a newborn who was only a few days old as
it still had the fetal folds....those vertical stripes on it's body. Look at that cute little pug nose with the dimples!
The new mothers were protective of their new babies and we stayed a respectful distance away from them as is the technique this time of year to win
their trust.
Here we are relaxing at the Interpretive Center with a cerveza after our trip.
More whales are entering the lagoon every day so I look forward to our next trip out on Jan.15-17. We have space on it so far if anyone wants to join
us for some whale magic! Udo - 1-6-2018 at 09:28 AM
