We traveled with SV SeaBear near the Canal de Ballenas to a very windy white beach anchorage called Alcatraz. On our way up we did indeed see several whales. There is a deep underwater canyon here and it is frequented by whales and rumored to also have GIANT (30-60ft) squid. There is a National Geographic vessel lurking around here trying to get more data on the giant squid and sharks. The vessel is called “Ocean” and they seem to have quite a budget for water toys on board. I’ve seen this boat in several anchorages in the Sea.
Doug and Harold from SV Sea Bear tried to hooka at Alcatraz and JC tried to snorkel but the current and the depth were just too much. Me, I stayed in the boat! Remember that National Geographic vessel looking for giant squid and sharks.... yikes. They did get some snorkeling in and got some fish for dinner. Click here for the pictures.
We had planned to go further North but Doug discovered a need for an immediate internet connection so we changed plans and headed back to the Village
