Dawn breaks on National Geographic Sea Lion at our anchorage in Bahia Almejas this morning. The bahia is the southernmost portion of the Magdalena Bay region and is our first opportunity to get out among the gray whales, and boy did we ever! A spectacular first day experience and interaction with these animals.

Our afternoon was spent at Sand Dollar Beach on Isla Magdalena hiking in the dunes and biking on the beach at low tide.
