Hello all,
We had an incredible day of humpback whalewatching! It started with a group of 12 whales, and five out of the group were breaching. We had whales jumping in all directions. What a great way to start the day1
After that we headed to the Gorda Banks and there were at least 20 humpbacks milling around there. It was hard to decide which direction to go, so we just sat in one place for a while and enjoyed whales in all directions. There were several whales breaching in the distance and all the other behaviors as well. We ended our whalewatching with great looks at a cow/calf pair with an escort–the calf appeared very young.
We went to Los Frailes, a shore location on the peninsula, and several people took the opportunity to snorkel for the first time this trip. The water was 73 degrees and clear. The people on the walk had great looks at Xantus hummingbird and gray thrasher–two endemics for Baja.
Today’s weather was awesome with sunny skies and light winds again.
We are headed north in good weather to Isla San Jose.
More tomorrow,
Capt Art
