The buffet line is absolutely going off out there!!! There were bait balls after bait balls out there! We could see these looming dark blobs under the water and when we got close enough we could see millions of anchovies and dolphins BLASTING through the bait causing the fish to try and flee for their lives! About 500 long beaked common dolphins were munching away at all this bait over the course of the day – but we’ll see what the sunset brings!

Sunset trip was whaley beautiful & magical! 🙂 We found another MEGAPOD of ~1000 long-beaked common dolphins!! They were right outside of the drop-off straight out west. We also saw hundreds and hundreds of birds. We saw a mixture of California brown pelicans, elegant terns, western gulls and one masked booby! Also Happy Easter dolphriends! ❤ We’re excited for more ocean fun tomorrow!
