Sage Travelers

Some of the best experiences are in our own back yard, but why is it we don’t take advantage of them or when we do, it’s because we have visitors? We have to work on this now that we're retired.

Sea otters are especially entertaining and come very close to the pier.

Among the many sea birds we saw, my favorites are the prehistoric-looking pelicans.

This gray whale put on a show between our boat and our companion boat.

The biologist on board had a sense of humor, promising we'd get some "tail" and we sure did!

A large school of Risso's dolphins were an amazing sight.

Afterward, we enjoyed a great sea-food dinner on the wharf. Yes, we need to explore close to home more often.
