Have you ever unexpectedly seen dolphins in the ocean?
Our one hour ferry ride out to Santa Cruz Island was fun, but nothing exceptional. We did see a group of seals
huddled together on a buoy, but that's reasonably common.
Our return, however, was quite extraordinary. We saw dolphins ... and not just a few dolphins. We likely saw
hundreds of dolphins (way too many to count). The dolphins were blowing air, surfacing, swimming, riding the
wake of the ferry and even jumping! The "performance", in an area named the Channel Islands National Marine
Sanctuary, actually lasted more than 10 minutes.
