An adventure on the Matt Walsh off Marina Del Rey. As soon as we exited the harbor, we were greeted by a small pod of coastal Bottlenose Dolphin. We stayed with the small pod for sometime before heading into the Santa Monica Bay, where Common Dolphins were a frequent sighting from the beginning to the end of the voyage. Finally, before heading into the harbor, we encountered a good size pod of Pacific White-Sided Dolphin, completing the dolphin trifecta! Bonus sightings included Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, and a Parasitic Jeager trying to steal a meal from a tern!
