Launching a dozen boats through high surf and no one capsizing is quite a rush. Lance and I launched a group of lacrosse players for a late morning whale watch trip. The waves were 3 – 4 feet and steep so some of the boats caught air but nobody went swimming, whew, how exciting! Once we got past the surf the sea was quite calm. We saw white sided dolphin and sea lions but no whales on this trip.

Just another normal day at the shores. Some fun loving sea lions, an ocean full of garibaldi, and beautiful leopard sharks.

Joshua, Michelle and I swam through hundreds, maybe a thousand baby surfperch while snorkeling near the clam cave. We also saw a horned shark and were entertained by a large female sea lion. We finished our snorkel tour over in the shores, swimming with Leopard Sharks. Made the 56 degree water worth it brrrrr…

Twice this week we were surrounded by about 300 white sided dolphin. They swam around and under our kayaks putting on quite a show. They are so beautiful…
