Greetings whalewatchers:
Our day started southwest of San Lazaro on the 100-fathom curve. The day’s itinerary was to travel down the curve looking for marine mammals and sea birds. We enjoyed a good variety including humpback whales, common dolphin, and California sea lions. Then highlight of the day was encountering an adult blue whale that was very cooperative and stayed with us for just over two hours. The last hour of that was spent in the company of a fin whale within 200-300 yards of the blue whale much of the time.
A small loggerhead turtle and a variety of birds finished the list. Tomorrow’s report will be coming from the East Cape.
In the company of a blue whale
