<DIV>Two bait balls with about 100 common dolphin each</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Plus a great hike with an extended family of eight (including a 3 year and 5 year old) on the Cherry Canyon Trail. So many flowers in bloom. And a relatively calm day at sea that allowed the Island Adventure to drive far into the Painted Cave.</DIV>

<DIV>Everyone was looking at the lichen wondering which one had just been named the "Obama" lichen ! An "new" endemic!</DIV>
