Captain Mat piloted the boat south toward Santa Cruz Island.  It soon  
became apparent that the wind and waves were more intense than  
predicted.  He headed east hoping to find some sign of whales, but  
found only spots of krill on the surface.  He kept the passengers  
informed of what was happening, gave the history of the islands and  
talked about the flora and fauna.  We continued east to Carpenteria,  
where we paralleled the coast to Santa Barbara.  Again, the  
commentary kept all intrigued as we got an up close and personal view  
of the coast along the way.  Passengers were disappointed that we saw  
no whales or dolphins, but were understanding of the conditions and  
looking forward to their next trip.

Thanks to Captain Matt, Dave and Kelly their professional services.
