    Had a Great time with Jennie on the water at the beginning of August! We were able to see a pretty large pod of playful bottlenose dolphins that hung out for close to 30 minutes, a glimpse of a Minke Whale, a group of sea lions actively hunting offshore, and somewhere between 4-7 Fin Whales that hung out with us for quite some time! Highly recommend checking out Offshore Blue Adventures for a chance to head out on the Pacific to see what awesome encounters wait for you!
