Pictures from Leg 1 - Animals!

Red-foot booby that came in close to our ship, we got to watch it plunge diving for flying fish!

Melon-headed whale! So far my favorite - note the cute white lips!

This school of dolphins (melon headed whales) came up were bowriding for a while!

Sei whale dorsal fin shot (useful for Photo identification)

Okay, how many whales do you see? 1, 2, 3, 4....5!!

Sei whale underwater. The sei whales seem to come in close to our ship and hang right underwater, not breathing, just swimming along next to us...
