Just another normal day at the shores. Some fun loving sea lions, an ocean full of garibaldi, and beautiful leopard sharks.
just another day…
March 20th, 2009snorkeling La Jolla Bay
March 16th, 2009Joshua, 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…
Huge pod of white sided
March 15th, 2009Twice 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…
The Whales are here!
January 18th, 2009Today was an awesome day. We saw a pod of Pacific White-sided Dolphins, Sea Lions, Leopard sharks, a Bat Ray and another Grey Whale. We saw 7 Greys yesterday. The water visibility is the best we have seen all winter. The air temp is about 70 degrees. It feels like summer. The reserve is so full of life today. The winter seems to bring the animals back…Update – the last tour just came in. They were out for about 3.5 hours and saw 7 Grey Whales. The largest one was about 40-50 feet long. Her fluke was huge. The closest was a baby…probably born last year. Amazing day on the water…amazing.
Kayaking on the La Jolla underwater park
January 7th, 2009We’ve seen gray whales off the shores. A tale slap off the outer kelp and a juvenile right in the preserve.
With calm seas and visibility at 15 to 20 feet we are also seeing a lot of Leopard Sharks, Garabaldi, Sea Lions and other marine life. -
