[CINC] Condor on New Years Day

[Carolyn McCleskey]

Sunny day, Beaufort 4 with 30 mile visibility.  Capt. Dave headed directly to S.C.I.
with about 20 aboard, great views of Painted Cave and gushing waterfall, with
smaller one inside.  Onward to the West, with 2 separate groups of Rissos, one
shy, one friendly.  In the gap between S.Cruz and S.Rosa we first spotted a single
Gray, with short surface time and then 4 more traveling together side by side, like
a synchronized swim team.  With about a 5 minute down time we had great 
sightings, as they surfaced and then fluked almost in unison when they dived.
A great way to spend New Year's Day.  Too bad no other naturalist joined me !
