We were delayed a few hours in Ensenada this morning due to weather, but we got underway safely. We saw a large pod of short-beaked common dolphin as we were leaving Bahia Todos Santos. Throughout the day we saw a few humpbacks and gray whales at a distance, along with a few black-footed albatross. We will be at San Benito some time around 11am.

Hello whalewatchers:
We arrived just before 11am at San Benito and got everyone ashore by noon. The folks were greeted by a large male elephant seal on the beach. They did an hike over to the fur seal colony and we were off at about 3pm. We were isntantly greated by a large pod of common dolphins which numbered somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000 dolphins.
While we were watching the dolphins, we started seeing whale spouts and turned around and got into an area of feeding fin whales. We stayed with a pair for about 45 min before continuing on. We immediately spotted a large area of pilot whales which put on a good show. We stayed with them for about a hour. A couple of fin whales joined in with the pilot whales, making for a great finale for the day.
We’re headed for Laguna San Ignacio now.
