Homecoming Dolphins

Today Ralph and Steen joined me for a trip out in the Channel Islands. It was a warm beautiful day. We ran into a few different pods of common dolphins and had a great trip before heading back over to CLU for the alumni party. The music is by Genesis called home by the sea.

The Morgan's come to Channel Islands

Suzy, Gary, and Bonnie Morgan joined us today out in Channel Islands for a fun day of Seadooing and Electric Boating. We saw 1000's of dolphins and went out to the Arch at Anacapa Island on a beautiful day. The video music is by Loreena McKennitt. We had a great time with some old friends.

Guys trip San Francisco 2009

This year we decided to do our guys trip up to San Francisco. We did 4 games in 3 days. It was a great trip and a great time. I was joined on the trip by Mike, Jack, Ralph, and Blake. We missed not having Paul, Steen, and Mark with us (next year). The weekend was Southern cal vs Northern cal (if you consider the Rams still southern Cal). The A's game was packed but we were lucky to get some tickets. The Stanford Ucla game was the closest of the games we went to. Cal USC game was a great enviroment and a lot of fun. Cal was a few plays away from beating USC (maybe 30 or 40). The 49er game was great but would have been a better game if they had played USC instead of the Rams (0-16 here we come). Great trip next year looks like Auburn Alabama or seattle. The music is by Boston.

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.
