Guide Report: Mar.04-08, 2012



Guide Report: Mar. 4-8, 2012By Maria Aguilar Murillo


Espanol:
Hola,
Semana del 04-08
Como cada semana, hubo días calmos y días con viento, los clientes pudieron disfrutar de las ballenas. El último día tuvimos un norte que rebasó las 40mph en las rachas más fuertes. Este viento es normal en esta época del año y por lo general es solo por un día. En esta ocasión tuvimos una lancha que se lleno de agua y se hundió. La razón es que el motor es pesado y por quedar muy cerca de la orilla el agua le entro poco a poco por la popa hasta hundirla. Fue toda una aventura el  rescate, de lo cual los clientes que todavía estaban el campo fueron participes.




English:



Hello

Week of 04-08
As every week, there was calm days and windy days, guests were able to enjoy the whales. The last day we had a North that exceeded 40 mph with stronger gusts. This wind is normal at this time of the year and is usually only for a day. On this occasion we had a boat that I filled with water and sank while on the anchor at the camp. The reason is that the motor is heavy and the boat is anchored with the stern to the wind and waves so the wind blew the waves over time to the back of the boat. It was quite an adventure the rescue, whereupon customers who were still the field were to participate to help us bail out the water from the boat and push it to the beach where Maldo then took the motor completely to pieces and rebuilt the motor in a matter of hours so it was ready for the next day.

Linda & John's 5 day air trip

Linda & John Henry who joined our Feb. 09 air trip were kind enough to share some pictures from their trip to Campo Cortez & San Ignacio Lagoon as well as their comments listed below:


Comments from the Henry's:
Hey guys – we posted our comments on Trip Advisor Reviews but wanted to just pass on a note to you as well.  We miss Maria and Maldo and Chris – and the whales!  Still in the Whale Zone that all you guys put us in, and we’re there happily.  Please pass on our thanks and best wishes to the delightful and exceptional human beings there are the camp.  Those lovely, genuine people are your greatest assets.  Maria’s smile is the brightest light on the planet.

All the best,
Linda & John Henry
Encinitas, CA


Our Aircraft: Cessna Grand Caravan


Cool Cessna Citation took us down to San Ignacio Lagoon from Ensanada. 
It landed in the dirt in the middle of nowhere.  We took a 45-minute bus ride from there to where we stayed.
(We got to Ensanada by bus from a San Diego hotel.)

Our little home away from home for 4 days and nights.  Talk about being on the beach!

Pretty cozy, huh.


Linda got to spend about an hour with this baby.  He kept coming back for more touches, hugs, and kisses.   Can’t blame the little guy.

Sunrise looking out the door of our hut at low tide…in a few hours, the view changed to high water.  Something accompanied by this scene can’t be duplicated….the tantalizing sounds of countless Brant Geese who winter here and myriad other shore birds all busy having breakfast and talking about it to any who listened.  Magical.
