    Nice captures! Did you see the dolphin pods? There were at least two I
    could see. The whale watching boats were all over them. Moving between
    the pods to let passengers see them up close.

    We did see a couple of small pods of Risso's Dolphins, we did see two other boats out there running along side the dolphins. I think I only got a couple of pictures of them, but the light was pretty bad at that point.

    Were you out there on Sunday?

    Those otters are too cool, this one just wouldn't move no matter how close we got. So he was either really brave or just plain dumb.

    On the deck at the Aquarium.

    For most of the day, it was fairly decent. But it seemed to turn foggy fairly
    quick. On the way back up the coast, the fog bank was off the coast allowing
    the sun to shine until about 5PM.

    The boat we take leaves out of Moss Landing, always a good time.

    Did you get any pics of the Great White at the Aquarium?

    We didn't hit Phil's this time, we usually go out with Sanctuary Cruises, really nice folks.

    Nice pic of the shark, I really need to get over there and take a look.
