Greetings whalewatchers,

We started the Sea of Cortez portion of our trip this morning. We are enjoying beautiful weather, 72.5 degree blue water, and good action on the humpback whales. We kept working up the line and never ran out of whales to observe. By 10 a.m. we arrived to Gorda Banks and all of a sudden, it was whales everywhere!

We had humpback whale breachers, flipper flappers, and a red-billed tropicbird all at the same time! At noon we left the whales to head up the line for a beach excursion and bird watching. We finished off the day anchored in the lee of Punta Arenas for dinner before heading to La Paz.
