Wake Riding Dolphins

Yesterday, the kids and I went whale watching. This time, instead of seeing nothing but fog, we saw lots of cool stuff. I'll be posting photos from the trip throughout the day. Here, a bunch of dolphins are riding our wake. Our naturalist guide from Scripps Institute of Oceanography identified them, but I was too busy snapping photos and don't remember what she called them. Oh well.

Was this some sort of warranty thing from the boat company ("we'll keep taking you out until we find a whale") or are you such the optimist that you decided to pay again?

No, it was a rain check for the fog. They don't guarantee that you will see a whale, but the young woman from Scripps told me that they had not had a whale-less trip since the first week in December. They won't give rain checks for not seeing whales, but they do give them if you can't see anything at all.
