This morning we spoke with the one of our  local fisherman friends, Luis, who is from the West Village, to see if we could come and film their town.  They were more then happy to come and pick up the top side crew in their pangas and shuttle them up north against the swell & to the village.

When they guys arrived the local  kids were taking dance lessons and the fisherman were cleaning fish.  Everyone got a chance to tell their story on camera about different experiences they have had here at Guadalupe Island. Such an amazing place virtually in the middle of nowhere!

And aboard the goodship Horizon we had a long day of sitting and waiting for the White Sharks, but still no luck.  Despite the lackluster sharking, we did have a rare Curvies Beaked Whale sighting!  Although it is not rare to sight these whales around Guadalupe, it is not common to see them breach!  Two individuals were spotted just off our bow putting on a show.  It was spectacular!!

With just a few days left in our journey,  the weather man said it was going to be a rainy day with winds blowing 20 knots. He was partially correct. Tomorrow we will keep looking for sharks and try to get some good diving in along the southeast ridge of the island.

Adios,

Captain Spencer
