Today we were up early again to try and capture more footage of baby elephant seals entering the water.  As the sun peeked over the horizon it was apparent that the swell had gotten larger throughout the night.  Hmm…land on a beach in 5 foot breakers with thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment? Maybe not.

We pulled our anchor up and headed north for a bit of sharking and upon arriving on site made the decision that Plan A and Plan B sucked. The wind was very Chicagoland like on the shark site so with this knowledge we aborted plan B and devised a plan C…chess, checkers or bingo anyone? Nooooo….of course not, lets’ go diving!

We decided to head back down to the south to get some protection from the big rock called Guadalupe and our our way to our protected anchorage jumped in for a quick dive at Butterfly Cove.  It was full of butterfly fish as the name suggests with schools of bait swirling around.  Off the edge of the wall huge schools of yellowtail breezed by in search of a meal.  Not bad for a crappy day in paradise!

Adios,

Captain Spencer
