Hello whalewatchers: We’ve had an amazing morning here! We have great weather and we have seen five blue whales, including a cow and calf pair, and a fin whale….all before noon! The fin whale was following a blue whale which was interesting. We have also seen a couple of loggerhead sea turtles. We’re continuing south for the afternoon.
We rounded out this afternoon by seeing a pod of 250 (estimated) common dolphin who provided quite a show as they leaped and frolicked off of Searcher‘s bow into sunset. We enjoyed warm, sunny weather with a cool refreshing breeze during the entire sunset show. Tonight’s dinner prepared by Charley and Dan is duck confit with wild rice and mole sauce, and a blueberry cheesecake for dessert. We are looking forward to a peaceful travel night on our way to Gorda Banks and Los Frailes for more Baja wildlife viewings tomorrow.
