Day at Point Lobos
Castroville, CA Sunday, May 17th, 2015 On the second day out with my old friend Julie, we set off for Point Lobos just south of Monterey via the Pacific Coast Highway out of Santa Cruz, CA.

The canyon begins in the middle of the Monterey Bay, and extends 95 miles into the Pacific Ocean where it terminates at the Monterey Canyon submarine fan, reaching depths of up to 11,800 ft below surface level at its deepest.
