Special trip on the CINMS research vessel for 25 Docent-volunteers for
the Sea Center. Accompanied by Barbara LaCorte (CINC) and Claire Fackler
(CINMS)
Outbound to SCI, hundreds of Common Dolphin, and two smallish Fin
Whales. Plankton tow and UW camera at Prisoner's Harbor
Snorkeling/hiking at Prisoner's, good sightings of an Island Fox (right
rear leg injured) and several Scrub Jays.
Three Blue Whales (big ones!) and thousands of Common Dolphins east of
Anacapa on the way back.
A long day, 0730 - 1630, but calm, beautiful, and full of life. Thanks
to the Shearwater crew (Marshall Stein and Zac Montgomery) for their
expertise and enthusiasm.
