Hello whalewatchers: Today was a great day for viewing wildlife aboard Searcher. We started out with some nice looks at elephant seals, harbor seals and young sea lions at Islas Todos Santos. Shortly after leaving we saw some northbound gray whales, then a pair of humpback whales, and then some short-beaked common dolphins. We then found a black-footed and laysan albatrosses. But the cherry on top of our day was a sighting of a fin whale, very close to the boat! That was followed by two more great looks at the same whale before we continued south.

We are off to Islas San Benito for another adventure tomorrow.
