Departure : 9:35 am from Dana Point Harbor.
Weather : Cloudy with light winds 2ft wind chop.
At 10:25 our first sighting was a pair of North Bound Gray Whales. They where in 100 ft of water off Laguna beach. The whales were playing on the surface and putting on a great show for our young students.
at 11:12 we stopped to look at Sea Lions, as we were viewing the Sea Lions a Gray whale came up and breached off the port side. As we waited and watched for the whale to spout again a small pod of Bottle nose dolphin swam up to the boat. A great end to a great trip.
11:35 Arrive back To Dana Point Harbor.
