A single trip at noon filled with cruise ship people from the Star Princess. We headed west at first and bucked up against some moderate chop. There was only a light wind and it was sunny. We located several pods of long-beaked common dolphins. One pod had over 2,000 animals. It was to be the only species we would see on this trip. A dolphin adventure!
