Hello whalewatchers, Today started with  a great sunrise but lots of wind. We were very lucky though, approaching Isla Santa Catalina we came across our first blue whale and we were able to see 6 or 7 surfaces. The whale seemed to be staying in the same general area so we decided to proceed and go ashore. Everyone enjoyed the island and I can tell you that the island is greener than usual and some of the trail is overgrown a little. The cactus are doing fine!
We returned to the Searcher for a Krazy Koastal Kruise (maybe by Kaptain Kenny) and a snorkel. The visibilty was outstanding but the temperature was a chilly 66 degrees!  We saw a few bottlenose dolphin before the sunset and some bird life.
Hoping for less wind tomorrow, Team Searcher
