Santa Cruz Island

I have been wanting to go check out the Channel Islands for years now and finally the weekend came. The lady got the trip for her birthday and she let me tag along too. The boat ride out was rough going. Swell was sizable from the wind equaling still bodies, shifty eyes, blank stares and nervous grimaces all around. It was a pretty big boat so it wasn't horrible but I did get a little sick.

The water was so clear out there. You could see to the bottom almost everywhere, including fish, sea lions, urchins and plants. A perfect time to realize the camera was in fact finally dead...and not just sick. Other pictures were taken and they may end up here sometime but this is the only one I have from my phone. This is actually looking over a 100 foot cliff even though it doesn't really look like it.Anyway, we had an awesome time hiking around the island, kayaking all over, and just getting out and camping.
