[CINC] June 20, CX report

[mardanne]

A great day in the channel today with:
5 Blues, with many spouts in the distance
16 Humpbacks, more spouts seen all around us
200 Common Dolphins in one pod
50 Common Dolphins in a second 

The conditions were not as bad as expected, but still a bit rough as we reached SRI.  The fog lifted and we had whales all around the boat.  
We had passengers from all over the world, along with a few locals.  Many great questions were fielded by Mary Geary, Vic (apologies, did not write down last name) and myself.  I was on PID and it was a challenge to keep the many sightings straight!

Captain Dave, Brooke and Matt worked hard, and guests Bob Perry and Jim Peckarsky were filming and shooting photos all day.

Jim entertained the passengers with his video and impersonations of humpback songs on the way home.  
Great day!
