Newphews and Uncles go to the Islands

Today Nathan, Peter, and Philip joined me for a trip to the islands. It was a very nice day with some haze (looked like smoke) over the islands. The water was pretty calm and a lot of boats were out today. We first went to Santa Cruz Island then went around the back side of Anacapa Island. We had some good news and bad news today. The bad news was that we did not see any dolphins (lots of seals). The good news was Nathan got very sunburned and now thinks he well have the only tan of all the kids in his high school back in colorado springs. Overall we went about 40 miles and had a very nice day
