Yesterday was a beautiful day to be on a boat. New Mermaids Gabby and Samira did all the work of collecting trash but we reaped the rewards. Two pods of Bottlenose Dolphins, two pods of Common Dolphins, and two Mola Molas, one with a bite out of his face. We recovered three Mylar balloons, two large pieces of cardboard and plastic, and several wrappers along the way. Then, Gabby and Samira rallied all of us to jump in the water (not everyone all at once, of course). Except Captain Zeus, who was very stressed and wanted us all back on the boat. Diane Alps, David Essex, and Jo Brown got awesome videos and pictures of the day. ... See MoreSee Less
