[CINC] Fwd: Oct 9th IPCO to Scorpion - Wildling Art Museum / Artist David Gallup

[paul jr petrich]

P.S. To the Wildling Art Museum Outing,
 We had 88 total passengers with only three going to Prisoners. David had most of his Museum group go on his Cavern Pt hike!  My group included tourist from Germany. Everyone on the way over was thrilled at the encounter we had with a very mature pod of Common Dolphins who played in our wakes for a long time.
 On the way back, the Wildling group became very interested in our CINP Newspaper, and their requests used them all up! Many younger folks aboard got their Jr Ranger badges, most of them from Washington School in Santa Barbara. They had come out to the island on the boat prior to our 11 a.m. boat. It was an all around great day for all, with plenty of fox sightings.    Paul
