Today, we welcomed all of our whale watchers to Lake Pacific!
The sea conditions were flat, calm and glassy all day long! We were so excited to see multiple schools of baby Mola mola!! They were hanging out at the surface in groups of 7 to 20! We’ve been seeing the little guys consistently for about a week now, so come out and see this uncommon sighting soon!
On our morning trip, we lucked out and hung out with a juvenile Humpback only a couple miles from shore! It was traveling south toward Mexico! We zoomed out to the west and spotted a fun pod of ~100 Short-Beaked Common Dolphin! It was a nursery pod with at least 15 cow/calf pairs sighted! We picked up a mylar balloon in our travels too! On the afternoon trip, we set out to the 9-mile bank and sighted hundreds of birds on the horizon! Underneath those birds was ~400 Long-Beaked Common Dolphin! They were all around us in every direction we could see. We got great looks as they surfed in our wake and rode the bow! A few calves were observed too!
We had a wonderful sunset trip!!
We saw 150 Long-Beaked Common Dolphins. They were leaping joyfully out of the water against the gorgeous sunset.
