Anacapa Island Anacapa Island, part of the Channel Islands National Park, is a mesa surrounded by water. You need to climb about 200 feet to reach an area where you can walk.

A better view? This gull climbed a rock on Anacapa to get a better view.

California Fur Seal This fur seal was on the breakwater at Monterey harbor.

Humpback Whale The seas were twelve feet every three seconds. I needed two people to hold me on the boat as it was tossed, and I focused on a patch of water. I was lucky, that's where the whale surfaced, and here is the tail of the dive.
