From the wheelhouse:

A lovely group from England was on the boat today and a big thank you to Mr. Orriss for his great shot of leaping Pacifc white-sided dolphins!  Over fifty dolphins having great fun wake riding and leaping.  The day was a little overcast with light wind and medium chop on the water. 

Lots of harbour seals and Steller sea lions in the area as well as Dall's porpoise and sea birds.  Again thanks for great group of tourists who were on deck spotting the wildlife and enjoying the day.  They managed to find a black bear on the beach foraging.  Great low tides for the bears this week.

Captain Waynes quote of the day:
