A Dolphin showing off just 50 feet from our dingy!
We took the dingy and snorkeling gear around the
point. We could hear sea lions all the
way from the next point 2 miles north.
When we got closer to the sea lion rookery there were a lot of sea lions
on the rocks. We were excited to see if
we could swim with them but they got fairly agitated when we got close. There were some very large bulls that were
barking at us and got in and swam towards us.
We decided that these guys were not nearly as used to humans as the ones
closer to La Paz which we had swam with several times. It just looked a little sketchy so we just
observed from the dingy for a while. On
the way back we got close to a couple of pods of dolphins. They seem to ignore you totally right to a
certain distance and then they just disappear.
One pod did get close and were jumping about 30 yards away. Susan got lucky and snapped a great picture
of one mid-jump. Back at the point we
had a good snorkel and saw a lot of fish.
Cooper lasts about 15 minutes before he’s so cold he has to get out. We decided to stay and do one more snorkel
tomorrow before heading to Bahia Ballandra.
