Today's forecast was for a very smooth ride with clear skies and a swell of 1 foot. It looked like one of those days you just have to get out there. Cory and Marnie joined me today for a trip to Santa Cruz. We headed to the back side of Santa Cruz (about 24 mile from the Harbor. I had never been to the back side before. It was a beautiful ride out there and we ran into some great dolphins on our way(See post for Video's). The trip home was nice the first part as we ran into more pods of dolphins but it continued to get colder and rougher as we went and the last 3 miles we got pretty wet and cold. Overall it was a great day for December and we had a good time. The picture of the pelligun flying has Anacapa Island in the background.

Christmas Dolphins

It was a great day for dolphins today on our way to Santa Cruz. We saw spotted, Spinner, and common dolphins. We had some good races with them and a lot of the time it felt like they were pulling us along. Marnie and I shoot the video's.
