Last year I got to go the Coronado Islands on a tour boat. You aren't allowed to land on the island but we got close in some of the coves. In some of the coves it was like having the boat in a washing machine, it rocked so much. It was hard to get good shots of the harbor seals sunning themselves.
We were also privledged to spot a couple of humpback whales that put on a spectacular breaching display for almost an hour.
I didn't have my Canon SX10 at that time, so I only had a 12x zoom.
It was great anyway.
