Hello whalewatchers;
Today was a great day at San Benito – a skiff ride to look at the Guadalupe fur seals on the way into the beach, a great hike up to the lighthouse, and some time spent with the northern elephant seals. The weather was overcast with cool temperatures — just right for hiking.
After leaving the island we headed south and we saw a fin whale right away. We had some great looks including a perfect view of the lower right jaw that is white on a fin whale.
Lots of shearwaters and Cassin’s auklets too.
More tomorow from Laguna San Ignacio,
