[CINC] CX Wednesday 3/16 - Humpbacks

[Lisa Angle]

0900
4 grays (1 then 3)
2 humpbacks

1200
50 common dolphins
4 humpbacks

The AM trip was mostly of a group of 80 from Monroe school which included fifth graders, their parents and teachers. The CondorX had seen a humpback the day before down by Habitat so we weren't surprised to find a couple today. 

The PM trip was normal passengers and we headed right back where we had the 2 humpbacks in the morning and found more. While we were watching them Mat got a call from a fishing boat that had five more humps in a near by area, so the 2 from the AM may very well have been different whales. The fog cooperated but the wind was still a challenge and conditions got to beaufort 4 at one point while we watched the four fairly friendly humpbacks. 

Crew: Capt. Mat, Denis, and Matt

CINC/PID: lonely ol' me 

Think good thoughts!
