[CINC] Great day for whale watching

[Catherine French]

January 2, totals:

13 gray whales including a calf and juvenile

350 Common dolphin in three sightings

Common muerres galore along with western and Heermen gulls, pelicans, cormorants and 100s of sea lions visiting the boat and on the rocks and shoreline of south side of Anacapa.

Relatively calm seas, bright sunshine and whale spouts all over, saw 13 grays really well and flukes were common. 

People from Japan, Turkey, the east coast and mid west and locally.

Thanks to Capt. Jimmy, crew Lori and Pancho for a great day on the water.



Calm Seas,
