Hello whalewatchers,
Our first day was a challenge since we had high winds and moderate seas that prevented us from stopping and looking at the northbound gray whales and common dolphin we saw.
Our visit to Isla Todo Santos allowed us to see all the usual suspects–sea lions, harbor seals, and elephant seals. Our highlight today was the albatross. With the wind, they fly so effortlessly. We saw black-footed and laysan albatrosses, and we had a total of 20 birds–15 blackfooted and 5 layson. Also we saw Cassin’s auklets and Xantus’ murrelets.
Lunch included a great carrot-ginger soup.
We are hoping for diminished swell and wind tomorrow.
We will be anchored at Isla San Benitos in the morning for a welcomed stop.
