Hello there,
We had an excellent day today at Islas San Benito. The weather was perfect and just the right temp for hiking.
Our day started north of the island watching two blue whales with great looks at both whales. They seemed to be juveniles, not great big whales. It is good to see blue whales this early and this far north.
There were plenty of Guadalupe fur seals here. We looked at them on the way to the island. And lots of elephant seals. There has been some rainfall here this winter as the island has plant life leafing out and even a few flowers. Everyone enjoyed the island.
After we left we didn’t see any large whales but we did see lots of life with bait fish, pelicans, shearwaters, gulls and comon dolphin. The weather is better with diminishing seas and almost no wind.
Looking forward to our first visit to Laguna San Ignacio,
