Hi All,

Report for today ...

3 Blue Whales in two separate sightings; one a cow/calf pair

3 pods of Common Dolphins;  100, 50 and 300 ... Many, many calves!!

Sunny, but rough day on the Channel.  Watched the cow/calf pair for  
many cycles and were not disappointed.  Excellent sightings  and even  
one fluke from Mom.  Commons were extremely entertaining and had at  
least 30-40 young in the larger pods.  Very interesting as we were  
able to watch one small calf slipstreaming with its mother right  
under the bow!

Regards,

Valerie Olson and Pam Yerger
