We awoke before sunrise with the National Geographic Sea Lion on approach to the dramatic rocky point of Land's End at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Our morning continued in the town of San Jose del Cabo with walks along the estero [estuary] for birding, then onward into the arts and crafts area of this historic town. Following a delicious dockside deck lunch, we set off into the Sea of Cortez to look for humpback whales. We were richly rewarded with many sightings and great views of a variety of active behaviors including full breaches, chin breaches, lob-tailing, and towards the end what we would consider a competitive group of males moving at high speed.
