Today, like all others, was a marvelous day. We woke up to the sound of common dolphins bow riding our boat. We then experienced some magnificent hikes in Ensenada Grande and were surprised by a pod of about 40 short-finned pilot whales on our way to Los Islotes, one of the southernmost rookeries of the California Sea Lions. Everyone had a close-up view of these sea lions as they rested on the rocky shores of the island. To end our day, a pod of approximately 400 common dolphins again came close to our boat as the sun hid behind the impressive jagged peaks of Baja's Sierra de La Giganta.
