Whales, Dolphins, and 2 Islands

Santa Cruz Island
Blake at Anacapa Island Arch Rock
Sea Caves at Santa Cruz Island


Today I had the honor of having Blake Mueller join me for a seadoo run out in the ocean. It was a perfect day today. The Santa Ana winds had died down and that is usually the best day to get out there and it was. We had perfect weather in the 70's (I do feel for you people on the east coast and do hope this gives you a little warmth) flat and clear water. We ran into dolphins about 3 miles from land(we usually do not see them in so close). We continued to see dolphins on the way to Anacapa and they keep trying to race with us. We then went around Anacapa Island and got to see some Gray whales on the north side just hanging out(Blake gets credit for the video I got a video of my foot). We then went to Santa Cruz Island ( about 6 miles) and ran into more dolphins on the way back. It was an amazing day and hard to believe it was January.
