Hello Whalewatchers!
Another fantastic morning here on the Searcher! We started our day with fluking blue whales and flat calm seas! We also
had a close encounter with a red-billed tropic bird. We headed to Isla Santa Catalina for the afternoon to snorkel, as well as a stroll up the arroyo.
The snorkeling was wonderful with some of the best visibility I’ve seen in a long time. Snorkelers had the opportunity to swim with Eared Grebes –
Rattleless rattlesnake Isla Santa Catalina
watching them dive to grab krill under water. During our walk up the arroyo the whole group was able to see a rattleless rattlesnake which is endemic to Isla Santa Catalina.
We ended our day with our traditional back deck BBQ, complete with Captain Ryan’s famous margaritas. Tomorrow we are headed for Isla San Francisco for our final walking adventure and snorkel session before the trip ends.
