6/4/2025 AM Whale Watch Recap

On our whale watching trip, we were treated to an incredible display of marine life. While whales were elusive, we encountered a large pod of dolphins actively feeding near the surface. They moved swiftly through the water, corralling fish, while dozens of seabirds dove from above to join the feast. The synchronized chaos of dolphins and diving birds created a spectacular, lively scene—an unforgettable moment of ocean wildlife in action.

Wed morning, June 4, 2025: The marine layer stayed with us for the morning trip, but the ocean and winds were calm, making for a pleasant cruise. Soon after leaving the coast, we encountered a huge pod of Common dolphin, at least 1200, who swam with us and surfed in the wake of the boat. New crew member Aimee snagged a Mylar balloon, demonstrating how to keep fish and dolphins safe. No whale activity was reported by any of the boats, but we saw another small pod of about 100 Common dolphin as we were heading back.
