Howdy whalewatchers:

We had a fantastic day at San Benito island today! The weather was perfect and there was lots to see. The group saw northern elephant seals, Guadalupe fur seals, and California sea lions. For plants, there was San Benito tarweed, cholla, island mallow, and agave.

Here is a picture of the island before we anchored.  We are still also seeing lots of southbound gray whales in our travel south. We’re headed to be in Laguna San Ignacio tomorrow.
