Saw 3 blue whales on our way to Ensenada!

Location: At sea, en route Guadalupe Island to Ensenada, Mexico.

Comments: We saw 3 blue whales an hour ago!! Of course, we stopped and watched them for a while. I thought that 40-ton humpback whales were big but these guys are enormous. Their bodies just seemed to go on and on as they prepared to โ€œtail flukeโ€ and do their deep dives. We also saw a mola mola or sunfish as we were drifting along with the blue whales. What a great ending to our first great white shark trip of the season.

Weather: 8ft seas departing Guadalupe last night but it moderated overnight and is now down to an almost imperceptible 4โ€ฒ low swell. High overcast, calm winds, temperatures in the high 70โ€™s.

Water: Water visibility and temperature unknown but it sure looks blue!
