Early this morning, the call was made to change our landing site to a more protected bay on the peninsula itself, rather than fighting windier conditions out in the Sea of Cortes. A variety of hikes were offered through the desert arroyos above this beautiful white sand beach. We navigated past large cardon cactuses and various desert plants and trees as we traversed over a salt pan at the beach-end of this wide drainage. Finally, the highlight of the day was seeing a sperm whale blowing around the ship and a gorgeous peregrine falcon that passed around National Geographic Venture multiple times and at close range! It was another incredible day in the Sea of Cortes!
