Hello!
We started our day 50 miles northeast of Isla Guadalupe at a seamount that rises out of 2000 fathoms, and comes up to 200 fathoms. We laid a large chum slick of Rice Krispies and fish oil. We stayed with the slick for 2 hours and had some good looks at Least, Black and Leach’s storm petrels, along with several Northern fulmars. We left that area and headed to the island of Guadalupe. We stopped at the north end to view the northern elephant seals hauled out on the beach. We counted around 125 seals  including six adult males and five adult females with pups.
Our photo is of people on the fly bridge looking at the beach with northern elephant seals.

p.s. An exciting call came in around 8 p.m.: Many Ainley’s storm-petrels were flying around the boat. This is one of the main target species for this trip, so there was much celebrating on board, including by the leaders Chris Collins and Steve Howell!
