Dear whalewatchers:
We arrived to Islas San Benito early this morning. Passengers did a hike to see the elephant seals, fur seals, and sea lions under beautiful and sunny skies. They took time to check out the variety of plant life and to see some active ospreys on their nests.
After a great day at the island, we got underway and encountered some white-sided dolphins that wanted to bow-ride the Searcher, and a blue whale! We got a quick glimpse of a fin whale in the area as well.
We had to get underway to get to Laguna San Ignacio, our next stop on this trip.
Captain Todd and Team Searcher
