Hi folks, from the new interns, now in our second week and just loving every minute of the project....
Said goodbye to Nicole and Ashley, and took over on the craziest of days - I'm glad it was special for Nicole as she's put so much into the project and been super generous towards me and Becky with her time and expertise - so yes, her last day was a well deserved frenzy of activity with 53 whale shark encounters...nuts!! it was whale-sharks nose to tail and we've ID'd over 20 sharks from that day now!
Since she left we've been pretty flat out, with search trips & encounters every day plus back-to-back trips in a single day with tourists coming up from Cabo yesterday morning and another group from here in La Paz in the afternoon.
We were carried along by incredible weather though - flat sea and a clear blue sky that made everything feel perfect....well not quite perfect - that came on the trip back to the marina when our fabulous eagle-eyed captain Kundo spotted four humpbacks along with a lively pod of dolphins! They stayed with us right back through the bay....the sight of those humpbacks arching through the water really is one to stay with you.
Personally I'm very happy right now...enjoying the low key loveliness of La Paz at Christmas as a welcome antidote to the mania of a festive season in London, and surrounded by so much that makes me happy! Much to be grateful for indeed :-)
