from Iowa U.S.A. Isabel island on board Miss Mimi

We decided to take the largest vessel of the fleet because we wanted to be comfortable. We left at 8 am and as soon as we got to sea the marine biologist on board got on his binoculars and started looking for whales. It didn't take more than 15 minutes for him to spot one about half a mile away and we immediately headed in that direction. Once we were there the captain stopped the engine and the whale started circuling us, it was pretty impressive, it just kept coming up for air and checking us out, it got so comfortable that it was very close to the boat. Really great experience that I strongly recommend. You have to do this tour at least once.

We went out on the Miss Mimi yacht with captain Jorge Palos and deckhand José Morales. We were out about 20 miles when the captain spotted tons of birds feeding on the surface along with some dolphins. They were about a mile away so wanted to get there quick. We raced at full speed and when we got there we threw some feathers and cedar plugs and 5 minutes in we were ON. The battle was heaving, over 1 hour long, but luckily we landed this beautiful fish.
