Matinee ?
I think the way to go now is with a kayak. That way I get get a mile or two offshore.
Yes if you go when its glass you see all kinds of weird stuff. I have seen some incredible fish migrations come right past the boat but we were about 30 miles out at the Hump trolling.
If you kayak out through govt cut Hens and Chickens reef is just a short way out and you can probably get some really good video out there. I think its about a mile and half out. Its hard to remember. Its been a long time. But its not far. The guys at the marina will know.
That is way cool.
Not an April Fool’s joke.
Here’s the link. It worked for me.

It is lucky that manatees are vegetarians and/or that the babies were not with the manatee. You may have wound up being his/her dinner!
Glad for you that there aren’t any crocodiles or alligators in those waters.

Huh? Did you mean that comment for PJ?
I’d have peed myself if I was snorkeling through kelp strands and came across a whale. I have snorkeled the kelp beds off of Emerald Bay at Catalina Island and have heard whales singing, so I bet they must have been close.
I can say for sure I’d have peed myself because that’s exactly what I did as a teenager when boogie boarding at San Onofre near the nuclear power plant... A porpoise family sailed under me and brushed the bottom of my feet when I was in still water out past where the waves began to break. I thought ‘white shark’ and began to paddle in as fast as I could. Even when I saw they were porpoises I just kept on coming in -— eyes tearing up, bladder drained, my stomach leaping into my throat like in a moment before a schoolyard fight, and my vision narrowed by fear like I was seeing the shore through a couple of paper towel rolls. I was never happier to stumble onto the beach.
I love the ocean, but I fear it very much. I just don’t want to encounter anything larger than a big Clownfish, even if it is warm blooded and starred in ‘Flipper’.
There’s another freeper here I know personally who surfs the big stuff off of NorCal and there’s always thought in that sport of twenty foot great whites cruising around beneath you in the best surfing locations -— even if they’ve got no immediate interest in you, it’s too disturbing for me to think about.
A manatee matinee would be huge! Shirly, I’m serious!
Maybe he was trying to get away from his ex.
yes, babies.
