Windy weather this week is going to keep a lot of boats at the dock and a lot of people getting cabin fever. Come and join us on one of our discounted bayside scenic tours any day at noon or 3 PM. It’s looking like the wind won’t lay down until late this weekend, but we can still show you a fantastic time on the water even though we won’t be viewing the reef through our windows to the abyss.

What a great video of a Nudibranch taken by Capt. Jenna last night!

Commonly called a Spanish Dancer, these shell-less mollusks are quite abundant, yet rarely seen. On average I see one or two a year. However, in the last couple of nights the Transparensea passengers have gotten to see over 15!

You just never know what you’ll see out there! (By the way, this video looks like daytime but this is on a night trip. Our underwater lights are amazing!)
