It was a beautiful day on the ocean today. Six (6) harbor bottlenose dolphins and one (1) stingray were nice for the guests to see. While out on the ocean two (2) humpbacks were located at about six (6) miles out of the San Diego harbor. These were an adult and a juvenile. Flukes from these whales were many.
