Our second full day exploring Mexico’s Baja California peninsula was a wonderful one. We spent the morning watching several individual gray whales in the southernmost portion of Magdalena Bay, at a place called Almejas Bay. We followed the whales in the glassy waters and watched as they raised their flukes up in the air before a deeper dive; we even gasped in awe as some breached a couple of times.
During lunch National Geographic Venture sailed north and anchored off the oldest settlement in all of Magdalena Bay, a sleepy fishing and tourist village called Puerto Magdalena. We spent the afternoon ashore, hiking and exploring the area, and then came back on board to enjoy a delicious Mexican fiesta dinner, finishing a great day in Baja California.
