[CINC] Condor 071811

[Michele Wassell]

Hello Everyone,

It was a gorgeous day out in the channel off the mid-west end of Santa Rosa
island. There was a little bit of wind and chop, which made it difficult to
go from whale to whale, but we still had good looks of Blues and Humpback.

12 Blue Whales

2 Humpback Whales (cow/calf)

1000 total Common Dolphins (3 separate sightings)

10 Dalls Porpoise

The cow brought the calf right up to the side of the boat, turned around and
headed further west. One Blue Whale decided to surface after a long dive
right next to the boat, giving the passengers many good looks.

About 60 or so passengers that enjoyed the trip, despite the few that were
ill.

Valerie Osos and John Kuizenga were also on-board.
