Baja Pelagic: Day 3. mid-day report

posted 6/6/2010

Hello,
We are checking in with a mid-morning report of great viewing of albatrosses. We stopped for awhile and had 22 albatrosses-17 blackfooted and 5 layson-right next to the boat. In addition, there were several black storm petrels. They were attracted to the fish oil chum we were putting in the water.
Before that we had good looks at 12 to 15 sperm whales on the surface. Also a quick look at a Cooks petrel, red phalropes and a sun fish. All this before 10 am. We have been pretty busy.
More later,
