Lady-Harbor,-Santa-Cruz-Island

I was fortunate to be invited along with my sons to gor to Santa Cruz Island on a friend's boat. They were going spear fishing, but I rented a wetsuit and spent my time snorkeling in this beautiful bay. I made friends with harbor seals and watched many fish swim through the kelp forests.

I started to paint this little water color sketch from the boat anchored in the bay, when the stern anchor pulled loose and we started to drift. It took an hour to get the anchor reset and I had to finish this sketch at home.

Wonderful trip and a great memory.
