07-16-2013: It doesn’t get much better than this. Humpbacks, Blue Whale, Blue Sharks, Leatherback Turtles, Risso’s Dolphins and More. Perfect Conditions All Day
Today was one of those epic days. We had calm, glassy conditions all day long and the Bay is alive and in full swing with an abundance of marine wildlife. Right now, a lot of it is happening just outside of Moss Landing.
There has been a mother and calf humpback pair hanging around the Moss Landing area for the last few days. They were just outside our harbor again today. We were on them right out the gate on both our 10:00 am and our 3:00 pm trips. So that was cool.
We’ve also had some great looks at mola molas and Risso’s dolphins.
But the Leatherback turtles were the real treat. Two leatherback turtles foraging just outside of Moss Landing.
Just remarkable. And the calm conditions really topped it off. Over the top really. It just doesn’t get any better than this.
And then on the way in, we came across a blue whale! Just an amazing day.
