Fantastic conditions today enroute from Guadalupe

We just finished drifting with a loose pod of blue whales off Ensenada. I’m pretty sure that one of them came over to check us out – there we were drifting along with the engines out of gear when an enormous one (and these guys really are ENORMOUS) surfaced and blew 50ft off the side of the boat. He surprised the heck out of all of us. It was great!!

Mauricio Hoyes and Dr. John Kelly, 2 of our favourite shark research scientists, have been out in the inflatable with a rotating crew of guests chumming and tracking the great whites. They managed to place a telemetry tag on a 3 metre male shark today and have been tracking it ever since.

Great sharking this morning!! We are back on station with the great white sharks of Guadalupe Island and conditions could not be more different than they were on our last trip. The seas are calm and winds are light and variable. We are anchored next to the Ocean Odyssey from San Diego, California and we have both been getting lots of great (no pun intended) shark action this morning.

All 4 white shark cages in the water tonight at Isla Guadalupe

We departed Ensenada, Mexico at 2200 last night and are en route back to the great white sharks of Guadalupe Island. I’m figuring on 19 hours 30 minutes elapsed time and we should be on station shortly before dinnertime. Our plan is to get all 4 white shark cages in the water tonight and then start chumming overnight.

Blue whales and Pacific white-sided dolphins as we head back to Ensenada

We have our fingers crossed these were the only and last windy days of our Guadalupe ’06 season. Just had a couple of blue whales off the bow as well as a large pod of hundreds of Pacific white-sided dolphins!

On station with the great white sharks of Guadalupe Island

I’m not sure why, but the white sharks don’t seem to like the wind or choppy surface conditions.  I have noticed this before – the sharks disappear when it’s windy and the reappear as soon as everything calms down. We know that their visual acuity is similar to ours, and I’m guessing that they have trouble observing and checking out potential prey against a backdrop of wind and chop? I’ve tucked into the lee of the island as best I can and I am anchored quite close to the shoreline.
