Covering lots of miles and seeing lots of cetaceans. Today we saw two groups of pilot whales, pigmy killer whales, dwarf sperm whales, and oceanic white tip sharks. Just not our target species. Yesterday was similar. Even had the Dtag on the pole yesterday to try pilot whales again. But even they are a bit skittish recently. We could use decrease in the trade winds to allow us to travel to the north of the island. However, that might be a little hard to come by so we may just have to get lucky. Keep checking back. We'll keep you posted!

Below is a pic of the pigmy killer whale breaching.  Note the characteristic white lips and the scars from coookie-cutter sharks on the belly.
