Captain Danny and the crew reported another day with dense fog everywhere. It was also windy and a bit choppy, with whitecaps on the surface. Totals for the day included: 1 blue whale and 400 common dolphins.
IWe took a track towards the West End of Santa Cruz Island. We didn't find much till we got closer to The Lanes. Here we found a small pod of common dolphins in the fog, and a few minutes later found a slightly larger pod. We kept driving for a while and then decided to turn around and head back home.
Inside the fog, we did not see much on the way home. When we found ourselves just a few miles off The Harbor. Here we found a small blue whale. So nice to see one close to the shore! Very unusual!
You never know what Mother Nature has in store.
