Birthday Dolphins

Today Cherie and I were joined by Sue Dalhberg. It is Sue's birthday week and she said that she had 2 wishes. (1) was to see dolphins (2) was to get wet and cold. We headed out late in the day and it was beautiful. We got out there and were able to see dolphins right away. We ended up running into 3 different pods along the way to Anacapa. After we got to the arch (12 miles) she was disappointed she was not wet so we headed around the back side of Anacapa (I did not want to go). We also had planted a happy birthday ballon out by the arch we were able to get her (see video). The backside was rough and Sue got her wish and we all got wet. We ended up doing the whole Anacapa Island loop (32 miles). Afterwards we went out for some Brazilian food and overall it was a great day. The music is by David Gray. Hope you have a great year Sue. We love you.

Anacapa Island Day Trip

Today we went out on Island Packers boat for a day trip to Anacapa Island. We were joined by Cherie's parents on a perfect day. We ran into very large pods of Dolphins on the way out and the way back. The boat cruised along the front of Anacapa Island and we got great views of all the sea caves. The music is by the Afters and is called beautiful day.
