We left the camp just after 8 am and headed to the airstrip to catch our flights to Ensenada and then the coach to the border. Before leaving we said our goodbyes to the guides, then Mark and Chris who were staying and getting ready for the next group who we passed at Ensenada. At Ensenada John and I also met Nick, one of the Wildlife Worldwide directors who was out doing a recce - we had met him at the Destinations Show at Earls Court a couple of weeks ago. The...

Eventually she was spy hopping right beside us - you could see her eye was reddish in colour- a bit blood shot. She le...

We are now into a routine and everyday follows more or less the same pattern - up 5.30 to 6 ish, coffee and breakfast at 0700, 0825 whale watching preparation - wrist bands, showing we have paid the daily fee, collected and groups decided, off in the small boats to the whale viewing area before 0900, 90 minutes whale watching, which is strictly enforced by the sheriff who sits in a chair on the edge if the lagoon connected to the boatmen by radio, back around 11...
