We've been visited by dolphins for hours at a time. I've been hanging out at the bow, stretching my open hand out as if to wave hello, or as a sign of touch. They are so close, I can hear their high pitched voices, and they turn sideways as if to get a glimpse of me. Then they started showing off, doing upside down circles at the bow, racing the wake of the bow, and flying up out of the water to dive back down again.

Humpback whales sightings have been few along the Baja coastline, but always a treat! To get a glimpse of these migrating giants as they return south to familiar waters is a special gift of the day. A few breaches have taken our breath away.

Seals have been plenty along the way. Popping up their curious heads when we drop anchor to see who has come to visit their bay. While underway one day, we caught a fish on the line; it seemed like it was going to be a keeper because it really fought hard. Just as we were realing the fish in, a seal came up to try to take it from the line! We won and had barbecue tuna that night!
Later that night as we were sleeping, something kept banging the hull at the bow where we sleep. We woke up and discovered seals were either feeding under the hull, playing around the anchor line, or getting their sweet revenge for us getting "their" fish earlier! It only happened in that anchorage and after talking to other cruisers that morning we discovered we were the only ones to be kept awake by seals!
