[CINC] Friday on the CX

[Sally Eagle]

1 humback
1 (3?) minke
hungry sealions, commons, pelicans, cormerants, etc

Overcast most of the day with a too small group of passengers from here and over there. Not a whole lot of action on the Channel, wave (oh yeah) or animal. Finally, off to the East, we spotted a bait ball with it's subsequent feeding frenzy. Some debate if it was the same minke spotted 3 times or 3 minkes; the Mn got in there and took the majority of the bait. Every creature interested in food, not people-watching; but, all the passengers got some good views of the action. Not long before the bait was totally consumed and we headed South to SCI for a short cruise along the east ead. The sun did come out around the islands and lots of kayakers were out enjoying the calm seas. Always a treat to retreat to nature.
