Hello whalewatchers: We have had some different weather this trip, with tropical rain on multiple days and some real downpours. We even had some lightning and thunder last night. We made it to Isla San Jose and Punta Colorada for sunrise and everyone enjoyed seeing that. Then we had a walk ashore and a snorkel. There was even another rain squall as we left the island. Amazing to have this moisture come up from the south…
Later in the afternoon, we saw a pair of spouts in the distant and there were two humpbacks. One was breaching and breaching and breaching, in fact we counted 87 breaches. We have never seen anything like it! We had some great opportunities for photos of breaching. The humpback finally stopped and we decided to to look for something else. Capt Aaron found some orcas again. Wow!. There were eight indivduals in two groups, milling around the same zone. No prominant male with a big dorsal ,but there is was a calf. We saw some tail lobbing which is also something we haven’t seen before. What a show! Orcas under the boat and very close at times.
