(We have a temporary interruption in computer-delivered reports due to the break down of our on-board mouse! There is a replacement arriving to the boat tomorrow, but for now we can receive verbal reports via satellite phone.)
Today the group went ashore at Islas San Benito West to see the elephant seals and Guadalupe fur seals that use the beaches on this remote island for hauling out, resting, breeding and raising pups. Captain Art reported healthy population numbers for these pinnipeds, but mentioned that the island appeared really dry. Locals told him the only rain they have had recently came last night!
Just north of the island, the leaders chummed (with fish oil and popcorn) behind the boat and were rewarded with nice looks at a black-footed albatross.
They are motoring south and will arrive at Laguna San Ignacio in the morning. They have nice travelling weather tonight.
