Hello whalewatchers:

Our first day of the trip started with clearing officially into Mexico. We traveled to Isla Todo Santos. We viewed several black oystercatchers, brown pelicans on the nest, western gulls, comorants, peregine falcons and a kestrel. Several harbor seals with pups, California sea lions and Northern elephant seal pups were on view also. The island is very green and in full bloom.

We saw several northbound gray whales south of the island with one large group of 8 gray whales close together! Our conditions changed and we had light winds and rain for most of the afternoon. We arrive at Islas San Benito tomorrow morning.
