Howdy whalewatchers,
What a great day on the island! Passengers walked the trails and saw California sea lions, northern elephant seals, Guadalupe fur seals and even a harbor seal. There were several ospreys on the nest and flying around.(Thank you to Joanne Lasnier for use of her osprey photo from her 2017 trip to Isla San Benito.)

We left the island and had some fog again, but the ocean was nice and calm. The fog lifted for us just in time for us to get a good look at a blue whale, lots of black -vented shearwaters, Casssin’s auklets, and another black-footed albatross. We also watched a school of bonito jumping out of the water chasing small bait fish.
We’re headed to Laguna San Ignacio tomorrow.
