The 1000 Milestone with Dolphins
Our latest boating adventure has been documented by some photographs and pushed our FLickr account finally over the 1000 mark. Woo hoo! We launched with a specific plan in mind and that was to head North this time. We cruised through the port of Los Angeles and the nearby Ports-O-Call village up to the Vincent Thomas bridge. After that we headed back out to sea and around Palos Verdes peninsula. The water was amazing around the cliffs of Palos Verdes and that’s where we came across a school of dolphins swimming south. We turned to follow and the dolphins were about 15 to 20 feet from the boat. It was sight to see that close up. There were groups of 4 or 5 at a time that were jumping out of the water on either side of the boat so I grabbed quite a few shots of them in action.

Those dolphins are actually paid by the city of RPV to hang out in that area, so glad you enjoyed them!
Also, thanks for not calling it the Vincent St. Thomas bridge. That’s one of my pet peeves and everyone seems to do it! I always say, “it’s full name is actually the Vincent St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands bridge” but nobody gets it and then they keep calling it the Vincent St. Thomas bridge.
But anyway, thanks for the cool photos! I’d love to get some boat time in one of these days.
