My trip to Two Harbors Catalina last weekend was a safe voyage.We had fare winds, a nice breeze, and little or no white caps out on the seas. Despite a few jolts in the night, the rocking wakes just put us right to sleep, for the most part.
Although we didn't spot any dolphins, one thing that was interesting was an enormous amount of California brown pelicans this year, to go along with the overabundance reported recently since the government banned the use of DDT, a chemical used as a pesticide that depleted the already thin shells of pelicans and other birds.
Here is a story about this reported in the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
Also, I spotted about three bat rays this time, which seem to be breeding over from the natural habitat sanctuary reserve at the USC Marine Lab.
Overall, a stellar vacation...as usual.
