Hello whale watchers,
Due to windy conditions we had to deviate from the normal itinerary today.
We started at the south end of Isla San Jose at the mangroves. Everyone
enjoyed the 2 hour trip in the skiffs. There was excellent birdwatching.
We pulled anchor and went over to Isla San Francisco for a beach walk and
a snorkel. The conditions were great with 73 degree clean water and sunny
skies. The snorkelling was great with garden eels being the highlight for
the snorkellers.
After lunch we pulled anchor and went north up the San Jose channell. We
saw a quick glimpse of a larger balleen whale and a brydes whale. Not much
after that with the exception of a tremendous sunset.
I forgot to mention the lunar eclipse last night that was incredible. The
skies were clear and so everyone that woke up had a great view of the
eclipse.
Today’s photo is of the beach at Isla San Francisco. Not a bad alternate
spot.
