Hello whalewatchers,
We began today with another spectacular sunrise with wonderful light on one of my favorite parts of the peninsula. After pulling the anchor we came across a pair of fin whales and we followed them closely for and had tremendous looks. Fin whales with the peninsula in the background was beautiful. It didn’t take long to come across a few blue whales–5 or 6 total–including one that was fluking. We also saw the example of the Vermilion Sea (another name for the Sea of Cortez) with large areas of red krill on the surface. We spent a couple of hours with the blue whales.
We left that area for a large area of pelicans, boobies and gulls diving. There were miles and miles of birds diving and surprisingly, no whales or dolphins. We did see a humpback finally and a fin whale in the distance. It was great to see all that life in just a morning.
More later,
