Greg Hoberg and I had really calm seas but dense fog on Wednesday. We knew Monterey Bay Whale Watch had been seeing humpbacks and dolphins off Moss Landing so we zipped up there in Greg's boat. We saw 9 humpbacks, a couple came quite close to our drifting boat, really awesome. We also could see shoals of drifting purple striped sea nettle jellyfish and lots and lots of what we assume were anchovies. We briefly went into Moss Landing just to look around, we couldn't even see the tops of the power plant exhaust stacks due to the fog.
Next we cruised back to Pt Joe but it was murky with a swell picking up so we went back into Monterey Bay and dived inner Chase Reef. We had 15 to 20 ft visibility. We didn't see any large fish but did find many nudibranchs and Greg spotted a small roaming octopus.
