Hello whalewhatchers,
We are excited to be on our first trip of the 2012 natural history season Today we saw several northbound gray whales, big groups of short-beaked common dolphins. three different species of pinnipeds, plenty of black oystercatches, and peregrine falcon at Islas Toda Santos.
The weather has improved greatly this afternoon with a period of wind just after lunch. The seas are calm now andsthe swell has dissipated. The front from yesterday has passed and the forecast for tomorrow looks promising.
Looking forward to Isla San Benito in the morning where we will anchor the boat and take people ashore for a nice island hike among the elephant seals.
