Details:

13 Blue Whales

7 Humpbacks

15 Risso's Dolphins

50 Common Dolphins

 

After dropping off folks at Prisoner's, Capt Lee headed us far West and
North of Santa Rosa where we rendezvoused with the Condor Express and whales
everywhere.  It was a spectacular show put on by 11 Blues and 7 Humpbacks
for as long as we had time.  Heading back toward Santa Cruz, we found a
group of Risso's and they were not as shy as they often can be.  Along the
north shore of SCI and into the Painted Cave (great job Lee), then on to
Scorpion where we met up with the Islander.  We took slightly different
paths back to Ventura, hoping one of the boats would site more cetaceans and
indeed, the Islander found 2 Blues between Grace and Gail.  We headed over
and had another nice encounter before heading home.

 

Wonderful job, Capt Lee along with Paige and Steve and Scott Cuzzo fellow
Naturalist.
