On February 15th I surprised Scott with a trip to Anacapa Island with Island Packers, who are the only ferry system to get the public to and from the Channel Islands, that I know of. They do a great job, we highly recommend any of their tours! Anacapa is one of a chain of islands in the Channel Islands National Park. We had both visited a neighboring island Santa Cruz, which can be seen from the Santa Barbara coastline, but we wanted to check out the smaller island of Anacapa because of it's intriguing jagged cliffs, natural rock arch and it's chain of connected razor thin islands. Little did we know that we would run into a pod of dolphin and a family of orca on our one hour ferry ride out to the island. Dolphins are a common sighting but our guide said this was only the third time he had ever seen orca on one of these trips.
