Monday we travelled back to Dana Point on the Southern coast – I wanted to check
out the much publicized Beach camping area and Debbie wanted to go Whale
watching. The day was overcast with the marine layer would actually never go
away – which was probably a good thing.
We first visited the Dana Point Ocean Institute , hoping to take a tour, but we found out it is attended during the week by elementary school children..... What a cool educational opportunity for the kids. We walked along the break walls and met several nice locals.
We toured with Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale
watching tour. We struck out on the Whales- apparently we are at the end of the
season there off the southern California coast [?] but we did see several large
pods of dolphins….very cool. And I developed a gigantic headache on board the
catamaran touring vessel…i guess i am just a land-lubber at heart...
Below, there are several pics and a great video which Debbie took.

And I was able to check out the Doheny Beach Camp grounds.
All dry camping – no water, no electric, no sewer, so - no blow-dryer – no shower – no AC – [you know where this is going] Deb wants
to keep looking for that elusive idyllic beach camping area. J
At the end of the day we spent the sunset hours
at Aliso Beach in Laguna. It was quiet time
for us, watching the last of the families enjoy the day and killing time for
traffic to thin out. [way too many motorists in California]
