We headed out in the pangas this morning for our final gray-whale-watching adventure. With little wind, the water was calm and we could see the heart-shaped blows the whales make with their double blowholes. One whale dove multiple times, giving us great views of its tail fluke. We returned to the ship and enjoyed a delicious lunch while cruising through Canal de Soledad. There were so many birds as the ship glided quietly through the mangroves and sand dunes along the canal. We spent our final afternoon ashore, hiking through the sand dunes and walking along Sand Dollar Beach — with a surprise beach cocktail party waiting for us at the end. After dinner, we all enjoyed the guest slideshow, reflecting on our time spent together here in Baja California Sur.
