Winter Humpbacks, Bottlenose Dolphins, California Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, Sea Otters, Murres, Sea Nettles

Saturday, Dec 4^th, 10+ Active Bottlenose Dolphins right outside the harbor, then three Humpbacks only 2 miles from the harbor! They were calf "Fluke Skywalker,” her mom "Aurora" and a third adult that was most likely a male escort. The three whales were chin slapping/lifting, pec slapping and we even had one of the adults breach for us! We ended the trip with a raft of Southern Sea Otters off Capitola!
