Hello whalewatchers:
We had a nice day at Isla San Benito today. The weather has been fair at best. It has been windy and rainy, but it looks like it’s starting to back off.
The island’s Guadalupe fur seal colony seems to be growing and healthy. Rob, our naturalist, says he has never seen so many on West island. So this is a nice suprise along with the Elephant seals on the beach.
We took off around 3pm and after about a hour of looking, we found an area of feeding fin whales and humpbacks. We spent about a hour with them and we were able to get some very good looks. We will be at Laguna San ignacio first thing in the morning.
