I'm guessing that left a mark (no pun intended).
Looking ahead, we saw a familiar boat - Willie's Tug was heading our way. I gave Herb a call on the VHF, suggesting starboard to starboard so we could visit. Little Izzy looked out, but Jake wasn't onboard, Herb was running solo today...
We visited for a while, wished each other a "Happy New Year," then separated...
Good looking boat!
We had no agenda, I was just wanting to run at speed for a while to "clean up the bottom"... Wild Blue has been sitting since before the kids came. I ran us up to high cruise speed, and we were out to the jetties in just a few minutes. Then, we saw our first dolphin of the day...
Quite a few boats out there; everyone taking advantage of the nice day. It was gray, but the temp was above 70º, light breeze, and not much wave action; a fine day to be out on the water. Little Izzy climbed up on Joan's lap to take it all in...
More dolphins, but they were teasing us. They'd come up on one side of the boat, then disappear. Then jump out of the water on the other side of the boat! Getting the camera out is generally a guarantee they'll do this. Joan took the camera, just as one jumped completely out of the water... "There it is! Did you get that?"
Nothing but sky...
Yeah, that happens. Coming back up the ship channel, we saw more dolphins and slowed down to take it in...
The sky looked worse than it was...
No, it wasn't raining, just some spray from running fast. You can see that the water barely has ripples.
Back home in time to wash down the boat before dark. Nice afternoon.
