[CINC] CX Fri., 10/08/10

[EUGENE RADDING]

I wouldn't contradict the report by the CX on its website: 1000 Common Dolphins 
in three pods, 50 sea lions, 75 Risso's Dolphins, 1 Blue Shark and one Humpback 
identified by the Capt Dave and crew as "rope". However, we did see a bunch of 
Mola Mola's like 25 or more that were very tiny and must have been youngsters. 
The weather was sunny and almost totally clear and hardly any wind. We came upon 
the Humpback almost back to the dock and his fluking and performance delayed our 
return about an hour.

Me, Marty Garey and John Kuizenga (PID) along with the 30 plus passengers really 
had a fine day. Thanks for Dennis and Brooke for their usual efficient work
