No whale sightings but closeup views of common
dolphins in three pods totaling 400.Several mother
calf pairs and flirting males were spotted among
the bow riding dolphins. Two mola molas were
also spotted by Capt.Matt on the trip to Santa
Cruz.

Fog limited visibility to about 5 miles during most of
the trip. Sea conditions were scale like ripples.

On board were 30 passengers from Germany, England,
Indonesia, and Arizona. They really enjoyed dolphin
viewing, cruising close to Santa Cruz Island, and
the closeup view of the Painted Cave entrance.

Kudos to Capt. Matt and Dave for a great trip and
commentary and to Matt for enjoyable food from the
galley grill.

Naturalists on board were veteran Debbie Shelly
and newbie Michael Berg.
