A quick overnight sail with my brother. Amazingly calm conditions for the Santa Barbara Channel on the way over, requiring us to motor for the entire outbound leg. Decent wind on the way back with all sailing once we left the island and got past the infamous "potato patch" between Santa Cruz Island & Santa Rosa Island. I have never seen so many Humpback Whales in the Channel! We had maybe 20 different sightings (including blows) but, unfortunately, we were never quick enough to catch any on camera. Also many bottlenose dolphins, birds and a curious seal. It was a GREAT trip aboard two (2) small but very capable vessels.
