Howdy whalewatchers,
We had some rain and overcast conditions to begin our day, but that didn’t phase us. We’re up to 7 blue whales this morning! We have also seen a flipper flapping, breaching humpback as well as both long- and short-beaked common dolphin. Oh, and also a north bound gray whale! We have observed lots of pink-footed shearwaters and a Laysan albatross too. So… that’s our morning here. We’re currently waiting on our second fluking blue whale to surface. What a great start to our day.
More later,

Sightings improved even more this afternoon with a total of 12 blue whales sighted. And even more common dolphins throughout the entire day. A Bryde’s whale appeared for a few breaths. As for the birds, we added black-footed albatross and a steady northern migration of surf scoters and brant geese. We are headed to Isla San Benito for an island stop tomorrow.
