The grey whales are coming south! Even in the turbulent sea, we could see them spout and sound, flipping their tails as they dove after taking deep breaths.
On the trip out to the mouth of Magadalena Bay, Enrique stopped an incoming shrimp fisherman, we bought a couple kilos of shrimp and took them to Magdalena, a very small fishing village on Isla Magdalena.
The trip back from the mouth of the bay was a treat...6 foot seas in an open panga with a 20 knot wind in our face means 45 knot wind and waves splashing all over us. Our clothes were salt-encrusted and we were soaked through by the time we got to the restaurant.
It was cold, cold, cold, cold. Bundled up in our winter coats, we enjoyed the shrimp boiled up whole by the cooks at Magdalena...they were as fresh as you can get them, and, add Enrique's special hot sauce that he mixed up to go with them, delicious!
Did I mention it was cold?
