A California sea lion pup nurses in the early morning light at Los Islotes in the Sea of Cortez. Guests on the Sea Bird enjoyed a blue-green flash at sunrise and then toured a sea lion rookery by Zodiac. Afternoon kayaking and arroyo hiking on Isla Partida was followed by a salmon-colored sunset and the largest, brightest full moon rise of the century.
