Hello whalewatchers,
Today was a great day for everyone ashore at Isla San Benito! There were elephant seal pups and some remaining males, Guadalupe fur seals, and nesting ospreys. The photography options were great! In addition, the island looks a lot greener this trip, so I am sure the photographers were busy with blooms and plants that were more leafy than usual.
The weather was partly cloudy with a light breeze and that made for a pleasant day for a walk around the island.
We used our Searcher skiffs today to offer rides over to the island and some shoreline looks.
We are now headed south to look for some whales or dolphins before sunset. We should arrive at Laguna San Ignacio after breakfast tomorrow.
Team Searcher
NOTE: We encountered humpback whales after departing the island. They surfaced and fluked for us. Great to see another whale species today!
