Hello whalewatchers:

We departed Ensenada this morning and were greeted with calm seas and an abundance of gray whales as soon as we passed Isla Todos Santos.  We had something to look at for the majority of the day.  After the gray whales we came upon a few spots of common dolphin and Pacific white-sided dolphins (attached photo from a previous year thanks to Rob Nawojchik).  Later in the day we watched a pair of humpback whales, and right before the sun went down we followed a pair of fin whales.

There were lots of shearwaters, gulls and some albatross to keep the birders busy.  We will be arriving at Islas San Benito in the morning.

Captain Mike and Team Searcher
