Today we were blessed with perfect weather and beautiful sunshine for all our activities. In the morning, we explored El Barril, a vast expanse of mangrove forest, via Zodiac, paddleboard, and kayak.
During lunch we traveled north through Hull Canal to Adolfo Lopez Mateos. We spent the repositioning watching birds and bottlenose dolphins from the bow. In the afternoon we set out in local pangas to go looking for gray whales. There were many whales at Boca de Soledad, and even a brand-new baby! Among other highlights were an abundance of birdlife and some coyotes on the sand dunes.
We enjoyed a Mexican fiesta dinner which included performances from local musicians, Los Coyotes de Magdalena, and local dancers, Las Flores del Desierto. It was a gorgeous day, and we can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
