So how do dolphins make a difficult decision? -They flipper a coin!
Today, we had to make some tough decisions navigating through such dense fog! On our morning trip, we went north towards La Jolla hoping to find some early gray whales. However, the ocean was still sleeping cozily in the fog. Sea conditions remained calm, flat and absolutely beautiful all the day! We also found patches of sunshine and improved visibility as we travelled further offshore. On our afternoon trip, we encountered a MEGAPOD of long-beaked common dolphins located about ~10 miles offshore! A megapod is when there’s more than ~1000 dolphins in one general area! They were found southwest of Mission Bay in about ~900 ft of water. The ocean is full of surprises and we can’t to sea what tomorrow has in store for us!
