Dolphins! Get up, get on deck, and join the dolphins at sunrise. Pilot whales! Not up yet? Then come for the pilot whales and dolphins. Okay, now it’s time for breakfast. Are you finished yet? Because there are sperm whales! Swallow that oatmeal and come on out, but wait, what are those splashes to the west? Bottlenose dolphins! The cetaceans did not seem to want to stop this morning, we were so lucky and grateful for such an awesome showing of wildlife.

For the afternoon we made a peninsula landing at Puerto Gato and snorkeled, paddled kayaks, balanced on SUPs, hiked the desert and photographed the amazingly voluptuous red rocks. Definitely a full day and an amazing start to our voyage here in the Gulf of California.
