[CINC] Island Adventure-5/28

[paul jr petrich]

Hope All had a Great Memorial Day,
 138 passengers dropped off on Santa Cruz by Captain Jim the Island Adventure sure did! It was beautiful day with calm seas. Common dolphin were seen on the way out and back: the sighting on the way back being a mega pod of at least 1,500. Some day kayakers reported seeing a big whale swimming east within 200 yds of their flotilla near Cavern Point.. 
 I had 44 hikers started off for Cavern Point with 40 making it. At least 15 of them were of Indian descent ( India). A couple experienced hikers ended up fitting in a hike to Smuggles Cove, as I did. By the time we returned visibility became exceptional with the mainland coast visible from Magu to Point Conception. Jean of IPCO led a hike at Prisoners. 
 The Island Foxes made their cameos as usual near departure time.  Paul
