Hello whalewatchers:

We had a nice ride down to Ensenada last night, and after clearing customs, we traveled out to Islas Todo Santos to look at pelicans, gulls and cormorants. And we found a pair of peregrine falcons on the highest peak of South Island.

There were 13 female northern elephant seals with pups on the beach and one large male. A few harbor seals and sea lions were hauled out.

Traveling south we have seen about 20 gray whales, some southbound and some northbound. Here is a photo of a distinctive “heart-shaped” gray whale spout off the bow. Note the calm seas and sunny skies, which we are enjoying!

More later,
