Mar 17, 2019 - National Geographic Sea Bird
It was a foggy morning in the Hull Canal. National Geographic Sea Bird was surrounded by mist and whales as the sun rose over the Baja California peninsula. Guests headed out early to watch gray whales, and they saw several adult whales putting on a show of spy-hopping and lazy swimming. In the afternoon, our ship navigated the narrow canal and made it to Sand Dollar Beach for sunset. Our day ended with hikes through the sand dunes and a beach BBQ.

As a family growing up in the Finger Lakes region of New York, free time was spent in the outdoors. Dave’s mother, an earth science and biology teacher turned weekend hikes into informative lessons. The beautiful gorges, lakes and forests made a lasting impression.
