National Geographic Venture awoke to an encapsulated bubble around us. Most of the morning was spent going in and out of fog, but just before lunch it lifted to reveal a glorious look at common dolphins, hundreds of them. Cameras clicked and whirred as we spent the late morning in the presence of these magnificent cetaceans!
While some went snorkeling at Isla Coronados, a few of us went on a Zodiac cruise late this afternoon. We picked up a small pod of about 40 common bottlenose dolphins who played with our Zodiac and kept us all entertained. There were at least three calves with the adults, surfacing right beside their mothers. Truly a Day of the Dolphin!
