Dolphins - Catalina Island, Clinic & Summer Games



We just returned from another great trip to Catalina Island.  On the first day we saw some impressive 8 - 10 foot swells coming over the seawalls at Long Beach.  After arriving in Avalon, we enjoyed a BBQ of hamburgers & kielbasa while viewing the sights of Avalon Harbor.  Day two brought a mix of activites. Exploring the shops and restaurants of Avalon,  checking out the underwater park, practicing man overboard recoveries, anchoring and operating procedures for our Lagoon 380 catamaran, kept everyone busy. The new Pirates of The Carribean movie was advertised to open May 20, and the buzz on the streets was that Johnny Depp was spotted in Avalon attending the premiere.


 
On day three we had calm seas for the return trip to Long Beach, and to our delight, came onto a large group of dophins, in a feeding frenzy. A pod of five dolphins came over for a short romp under our bow, making for some great
video of the dolphins.  Before catching our return flight, we pulled up to a courtesy dock and enjoyed some delicious food at Parker's Lighthouse Restaurant in Long Beach.


It was a fun trip with a great group of salty dawgs.
The Queen Mary is in the backround.
