On IPCO's Islander today:

Sighted:  2 Humpbacks, one younger
	       20 Risso's dolphins 
	       A plethora of common dolphins
Sighted at Scorpion:  Two island foxes--moving from area in front of bulletin board to ranch garden

Hike leader--Marty F
VC--Barbara H	
Captain Jimmy
Crew--Steve, Laurie, Jean
Kayaks--Tony

SCI weather not windy and quite pleasant, even at Cavern Pt.  Tony said the kayaking rivaled the best he's experienced
on the island since he could safely enter all caves.

Islander & passengers diverted to Anacapa at 3:30 to pick up Botanist Sarah which provided the passengers with three unexpected "gifts":
	1.  Sighting of Risso's dolphins along Anacapa's coast (See above)
	2.  Additional time to see Anacapa's Arch Rock
	3.  Sunset behind SCI, viewed aft, during return trip to Ventura Harbor.

An exceptionally lovely day!
