Hello whalewatchers,
We had to delay our arrival to San Benito this morning because we were interrupted by fin whales feeding on the surface! We spent an hour viewing the second largest whale and were rewarded with some good looks.
While we were waiting for the fin whales to surface a group of three Cuvier’s beaked whales came up close to the boat so there was a second chance for a good photo! It is uncommon to see these whales at all, but two days in a row?
The weather is great with cool temperatures and clear skies.
A nice calm ocean and a bit of a fin whale back!
More later,

Hello whalewatchers,
Passengers enjoyed a good day ashore at Isla San Benito with plenty of elephant seals, a few Guadalupe fur seals, ospreys on their nests and great weather. The camp is quiet with just the guards watching the seafood resources. The lobster and abalone season is over. 
We came across three humpback whales and a good-size group of long-beaked common dolphin before dinner. We have calm seas so the weather is great for traveling south to Laguna San Ignacio.
We have seen three species of dolphin, three species of baleen whales and a rare sightings of Cuvier’s beaked whales. A great start to our trip so far!
