It doesn’t get any better than this for whale watchers off San Diego, venturing
out to Los Coronados Islands.  Passengers on Friday’s Nature Cruise were treated
to numerous whale sightings – sometimes seeing spouts in every direction.
Passengers on Saturday‘s cruise were treated to almost as good of a
show….with good sightings of 14 gray whales.  Both days hundreds of common
dolphins were seen, both feeding and surfing the wake of the vessel.  The
cruisers were also delighted by the Islands’ usual suspects – the hundreds of
sea lions; harbor seals; elephant seals and their pups and numerous seabirds
including Brown Boobies, along with two chicks; and American and Black
Oystercatchers.  Calm seas and clear skies made the trips even more
exceptional….how lucky we are to have this opportunity for a fascinating day
trip off the San Diego and Baja coastline!
