[CINC] Ranger 85 1/6/13

[Linda Hitt]

3 Gray Whales
Several medium sized pods of Common Dolphin

AM trip only.  PM cancelled.

A good group of hardy passengers, despite the weather forecast.  The Ranger 
staff made a good decision that they could go for the morning trip.  The ocean 
was not bad & we only had a few rain drops.  I really enjoyed seeing the 
contrast in weather conditions depending on where I looked.  Bright blue skies 
with puffy white clouds in one direction & dark clouds with rain in another 
resulting in a lot of partial rainbows.  


The first Gray was seen in very shallow water south of the Port Hueneme canyon 
but was quite shy.  The second two were found southeast of ACI & gave us several 
good views.

Always good to be on the water & sharing our abundance with others.
