It didn't take long before we started seeing marine mammals like California Sea Lions as we departed and birds along our hazy journey.
Once we exited the Quivira Basin, it was time to head northwest and venture out on the open water. We had one-to-two-foot swells and reduced visibility from a shallow marine layer. I got excited when I thought I spotted something in the water, but it was just a buoy.
"You can see everything is just blue and rippley. But if you see like a white splash, something had to do that, so they could be dolphins. They could be just some bird diving into the water," said Jones. We went six miles offshore where the water is over 16,000 feet deep in the middle of the La Jolla Canyon. Still searching for whales on our journey, we spotted the Ocean Sunfish. They are known for being the world's largest bony fish based on weight. Ryan also mentioned that they eat jellyfish. "We see lots of heart balloons after Valentine's Day," explained Jones.
Well, you're probably curious if we saw a whale? Unfortunately, no. Each excursion is different, which is part of the fun. And did you know you can go whale watching any time of the year?
