Hello whalewatchers,
Today was a great day with excellent humpback whales. There seems to be fewer whales at this time but the ones we saw were great. (We think they might be starting to head north, into southern California in time for our Memorial Day Wildlife Weekend!) A group of six whales entertained us for a few hours with some breaching close to the boat and some flipper- flapping as well. We had a haze on the water that made for tough spotting but we managed to see at least 20 humpbacks, thanks to a crew! Plenty of fluke shots were available for the photographers.
The wind came up in the afternoon so we headed for Bahia Los Frailes and everyone enjoyed the late afternoon birding on shore.
We hope to head north tonight to Isla San Jose.
More tomorrow,
Capt Art
