Hello whalewatchers: We had another great day here on Searcher. Passengers had a nice walk on Isla San Jose island followed by a snorkel. After we got the anchor up and on our way,we found a pod of long-beaked common dolphins–around 450 in the group. The ocean was calm and we could actually see all the animals above and below the water. Then the boys on the roof spotted something different and we went that way. Those animals turned out to be Risso dolphins. They were logging, breaching and leaping all around. Then about 4 miles away was a group of sperm whales. There were about 30-40 animals and it was really good viewing for a couple of hours. 
There were three bottlenose dolphin in the same area and they were jumping around us, as we drifted listening to the sperm whales on the the hydrophone. Apparently a couple of humpbacks wanted our attention as well so they were breaching and tail lobbing off in the distance. Another wonderful thing were two adult and two baby Craveri’s murrelets on the water. We are headed to Isla Santa Catalina tonight and will be going ashore there tomorrow. Wish us luck!
