[CINC] Nina or Santa Maria replica in SBC 12/2

[Marty Flam]

Tues Dec 2 - IPCO Ventura - Scorpion
Minke - 1
Caraval - 1
 
This morning enroute to Scorpion from IPCO's Ventura anchorage in overcast skys we saw a Spanish galleon or caraval, announced on the PA as the Santa Maria replica, flying the American flag.  I'm not sure how it compared to Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo's.  On our way back to Ventura, it was gone, but a Minke whale was spoted off in the distance.  Here's a Santa Maria replica link and Nina replica link.
