Hello all,
Our first day (of our second tour for 2010) offshore after clearing Mexican customs in Ensenada was spectacular with over 30 albatross (blackfooted and layson), northbound gray whales, 1000 each short- and long-beaked common dolphin and fin whales.
We saw several other species of seabirds including shearwaters, alcids, phalaropes and gulls.
Also prior to going offshore, we saw all the usual suspects (harbor seals, elephant seals and sea lions, plus nesting cormorants and pelicans) at Islas Todos Santos. The island is nice and green.
The weather is fantastic with calm winds and very little seas.
Looking forward to tomorrow,
Capt Art
