Boca de la Soledad
We spent a very pleasant and quiet night at our anchorage in the “mouth of solitude” or Boca de la Soledad, just north of the small town of Puerto Adolfo Lopez Mateos, named after a former President of Mexico. After breakfast, we were hoping for the wind to calm down with respect to yesterday, and we got ready with eyes wide open, cameras ready and the spirit of adventure, to go out and try to find, swimming, breaching or spy hoping the very famous gray whales inside this narrow natural channel. Every year during the winter season gray whales came down from their feeding grounds in the Bering, Chukchi, and western Beaufort seas, to birth their calves, raise them, and to mate. Inside the channel we usually find the cow and calf pairs of whales, swimming against the tide preparing the newborn whales for the long migration north.
Right from the beginning of our whale watching activities, we observed cow and calf pairs of gray whales and some solitary individuals. Some of them were very elusive and erratic in behavior, we kept doing our observations for most of the day and by the end of these, wind finally calmed down and some of us got a wonderful reward for future memories.
Now under clear skies and under the light of the stars, we are expecting to have more and more to put into the treasure chest.
