[CINC] CX Sat Oct 2

[Mr Zalophus]

Too bad not a single naturalist showed up for this one!

Wow.  What a magnificent day out on the Channel today.  It was dead calm
with bright sun and balmy temperatures.  In the background, the glassy seas
were framed by huge, white, billowing cumulus cloud formations.  Oh, and did
I mention wildlife?

...here is what the Condor Expressly watched today:
1 Humpback Whale
1000 Common Dolphins (in two large groups and several smaller feeding pods)
50 California Sea Lions
200 Risso's Dolphins (in two large groups)
20 Mola Mola (Ocean Sunfish)

The whales previously reported by the news media in the LA area have left
and appear to be moving back into our Channel.You never know on a day to day
basis what mother nature has in store.  But it is always an amazing day full
of sea creatures and adventures on the high seas when the Condor Express
leaves the dock every day at 10am regularly.  SPECIAL NOTE:  Our Saturday,
October 9th trip will leave the dock early for a special 8am to 1230pm
morning trip.  Make reservations and plan to arrive around 730.

Sign up now and tell your friends.  There should be plenty of spots
available for tomorrow, but the only way to guarantee you'll have a ticket
to board is to make a reservation if you have time, SO call 1-888-77WHALE or
805-882-0088 to get your name on the list.

Photographs from this adventure will be available online at

Best fishes and have a WHALE of a day !
