Eager! is the word of this trip! We had a quick embarkation this morning and were off on another adventure in a flash. Having just returned to the Nautilus Explorer and being very excited to go Socorro Island I was indeed taking everyone’s cue. That and I love Juan Carlos’ cooking! An amazing morning made for a beautiful departure out of Cabo San Lucas with just the right amount of breeze, a gentle and comforting easy and minimal roll and plenty of sunshine. Not even 10 miles we encountered a pod of whales at a distance of about 100 meters. Some were swimming along, some just lazing around the surface. We counted around a dozen and then gave up. Divemaster Peter was watching the spouting carefully and decided they were sperm whales which is such a treat to see, especially this close to the Cape. It was a perfect start to the trip. With a great bunch of with the great people onboard and, of course, the best crew in the world it sure is easy coming back to work…this is work??!! I look forward to some great diving and conversation in the following weeks and once again find myself asking ‘How did I get this lucky!’ Captain Kev
