Hello all,
A wonderful sunrise at Punta Colorado this morning. One of our favorite places to visit in the Sea of Cortez. The weather couldn’t be better, looking forward to the day ahead.
Afternoon update:
We started our day at Punta Colorado on Isla San Jose, one of our favorite spots in Baja, for a sunrise and reflection of the red cliffs, a walk on the island and a snorkel session–all before lunch!
We traveled north into the San Jose channel in search of wildlife. We came across a widespread area of seabirds feeding on bait fish. The area covered at least 3-4 miles of birds feeding in various spots. It was very encouraging to see all the life. It didn’t take long before we saw a whale! It was a big blue whale heading south in the channel. We followed it for over an hour with great looks.
Yes, there’s a blue whale in this photo! Showing how “blue” they really are. We’re sure our on-board nature photographers got some great shots!
We headed north to anchor at Isla Santa Catalina for the night so we are poised to go ashore and snorkel early tomorrow morning and enjoy another magical place in Baja!
We had a great day, topped off by a delicious dinner of fresh yellowfin tuna with a salsa verde, and a vegetable quinoa side. Thank you chefs Charley and Dan!
