[CINC] CINC Condor Whale Watch trip 9-22-11

[Larry Driscoll]

The weather was overcast with flat seas for the whole trip.  Captain Dave, Matt 
and Dane turned up sightings that included a total of 2500 common dolphins in 
several pods/mega-pods, with lots of calves, all exhibiting feeding behavior.  
The 38 passengers loved it.  We went by N. SC Island and took a look at sea 
lions and harbor seals as well as painted cave.  On the way home we spotted a 
blue whale and stayed with it through a few feeding cycles.  Passengers loved 
this final capper to the day!

Naturalists on board were Rae Emmett, Don Tillies (PID) and me.
