[CINC] Islander on August 13 - WOW

[Dick Bellman]

It was "flukes galore" aboard the Islander on the 13th.  Captain Dave guided
us to the same area as the Condor Express.  We had similar numbers as
reported aboard the CX, but more significant than the numbers of sightings
was the quality of the sightings.  Humpbacks approached the Islander from
all angles with Blues shortly outside of them and multiple spouts of both
Blues and Humpbacks further in the distance.  Displays of flukes were
abundant.  I believe it is safe to say that every person with a camera
captured multiple shots of fluke displays.  It was truly an awesome day.
The passengers, being absolutely awestruck, gave Captain Dave two separate
rounds of applause -  which were richly deserved.  It was truly a "WOW" day.
