Get underway for a trip of discovery! Once out of Zihuatanejo
Bay, “one of the most beautiful small bays in the world” and
ancient land of the “Nahuatl” peoples, you will be embarking
on a visual discovery of the land mass of the “North American Tectonic
Plate” while sailing over the “Cocos Tectonic Plate” en
route to the brilliantly white guano covered “Morros de Potosí”.
Along the way, keep alert for the California Grey and Humpback whale (Mid
December-mid March) and learn how to distinguish both. You will be encouraged
to jump in the water to hear the whale songs. Dolphins, Loggerhead turtles
and Manta rays will keep you entertained as well as the “Picante” crew
who never miss a chance to get in the ocean to bring a turtle aboard for
a good shell cleaning of encrusted barnacles. Learn about our distinctive
weather patterns and how very important they are for our unique climate.
Circumnavigate the “Morros” and see why the guano has collected
in such massive amounts. Passing very close, view the towering cathedral
caves on the south side of the “Morros” while trying to figure
how many Boobies, Frigates and the distinctive white Tropicbirds that you
are actually viewing (beyond count). Fishing can be exciting and instant “Tiritas” from
your catch can be sublime. Don’t spare the picante chili! All yours
to discover while enjoying a spontaneous adventure set in a very mellow
ambiance!
A panoply of land, sea and air creatures set to a subdued
tone aboard.
Five sets of binoculars are aboard for your respectful viewing.
A chart of the area to orient all that you are viewing, along with oral
and written descriptions.
A Continental breakfast of sweet rolls and fruit along with coffee and
tea to hold you over until your return for lunch. Ask the Captain or crew
for some suggestions for great seafood lunches in Zihuatanejo Bay.
Open Bar to keep your spirits up.
This trip is oriented for true nature lovers. Informative, wondrous and
fun, so don’t forget your camera!
Time: 9:00 – 12:15 (This is a seasonal cruise, from mid-December
to mid-April).
