We awoke to a gentle breeze as National Geographic Venture lifted anchor and set out to sea. As the sun crested the mountains, seabirds departed their roosts to feed on the morning’s bounty. In our time offshore, hundreds of dolphins paid us a visit while grey and humpback whales passed us by.
For the afternoon, we set out to get up-close experiences with the marine life. Being in a small boat with our local Mexican guides was a great experience as they navigated the shallow waters of Bahia Almejas and provided us with amazing views of multiple gray whales.
With a wonderful first day behind us, we look forward to what tomorrow brings.
