Hello whalewatchers,
A wonderful day on Islas San Benito. Prior to arriving we had a great show in the wake with 11 black-footed albatross at once and several gulls. The island is still in bloom with flowers. The female elephant seals are returning to molt so there are more seals on the island. The Guadalupe fur seals have increased in numbers as well. There are olenty of ospreys on the nest and the group saw one chick.
Everyone enjoyed the hike. The weather was great , nice and cool for a hike with overcast skies and a light breeze. After departing we saw two fin whales and a group of common dolphin. And to end the day, a great sunset.
Looking forward to arriving at Laguna San Ignacio tomorrow,
Capt Art
