Details:

Smooth ride with flat, calm seas and overcast skies, even on S.C. Island.  Happy group of 58 passengers, including those from 
Denmark, France, Germany, U.K. and Dallas.  Surrounded by blues and humps with barking sea lions for size and sound contrast.  Lots of good photo ops.  
Ended with painted cave.  It doesn't get much better.
