Hello whalewatchers,
We had tremendous whalewatching today–four different species of baleen whales including grays, fins, minke, and humpbacks. We saw at least 15 humpbacks and at the end of the day, they were lunge feeding on balls of krill. It was awesome. The fin whales were curious for a little while and cicled the boat closely for about an hour. The gray whales were on a mission heading south and we think the minke was enjoying the balls of krill in the same zone as the humpbacks.
We saw the usual pinnipeds at Isla Todos Santos. There were 16 northern elephant seals, including 5 pups.The island is green from the rainfall so far this season.
More tomorrow,
Capt Art and team Searcher
