This is a long run so we had to leave early and thread our way through the harbor in the dark. We were rewarded with a beautiful sunrise.

Some might remember sea world from the movie Free Willy although as much as I hoped it was I donrsquot think that movie was actually based in San Diego. Not sure where it was but it didnrsquot matter. They called the whales Shamu.
