Hi Shari, what a wonderful time there at the lagoon. And what a treat to meet you and Sirena and Izaak and all the happy folks in your group.




Mucho whales and amazing behaviours. I'd never had so many close encounters with whale tails; it was almost like they'd learned a new way to be "friendly."





Our panga received a couple of resounding slaps from different whales... never experienced that before, either in Laguna San Ignacio or Scammon's.

And so much sexual energy and flailing "pinkies."





Wow. Looking forward to getting back there again!

apparently whales are getting slap happy all over the place...

we have a whale called La Pelotera who pretends to be a friendly whale then head butts the panga like a soccer ball! The calves are getting rather boisterous this week bumping and pushing the pangas around...woo hooo!

Shari, We saw "dados" there 2 or 3 years ago can't remember. you don't forget a sighting like that. At first I thought we saw a sea monster from a distance :O
The whale was not afraid of the ponga, go figure.

great pics, Shari!

The whale with the trippy tail is certainly interesting. Doesn't seem to have hampered it in any way?

And love all your whale reports! Keep em coming!

I just love the pics of the boats, they are definitely worthy of blowing up and hanging in your house. So beautiful! Perfect shots, you nailed em!
