<DIV><FONT size=3>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 <EM>Santa Maria</EM> 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.</FONT></DIV>
