Santa Cruz Island was not meant to be







Heidi and Cory joined us today and the goal was to make it to Santa Cruz Island. The island is about 5 miles farther then Anacapa and is the largest of the 5 channel islands in our area. We have never gone on the Seadoo's(only by boat) so we were all looking foward to making it there. As we headed to Santa Cruz it was a little cloudy and the water would be choppy one minute and smooth the next. We ran into a few pods of dolphins on the way that were crusing along (video has good underwater views of dolphins). On the video cherie mentions that they are bottle nose dolphins after we watched the video they look like common dolphins. The polution in the water is never good to see (our Seadoo's are ultra low emission 4 stroke that do not leave polution). When we got to the north side of Anacapa it was very foggy and we could not see Santa Cruz so we decided to go around the back side of Anacapa(it was the first time we went this way). It was a little cold but we all had a nice trip. We saw dolphins, flying fish and tons of seals on the beach.
