[CINC] SUNDAY JULY 29TH ON THE CX

[Vivi Teston]

Extraordinary day on the Packed boat of CX ! My apologies for Long delay in
writing report .

Dino on VERY  busy PID & Debbie Shelley other naturalist on board.

80 funfilled students from Music Academy of the West Plus passengers from
France, Spain & other parts of Europe & local SB fans. FULL Boat Load .with
20 wait listed  at the dock.

12 Humpbacks ,  a very charismatic duo, ending up being a Trio. Round &
round they went with repeat perormance of checking out the passengers.
Beautiful !Mugging & spy hopping the boat.. so closely you could almost
touch there Barnacle clad heads & gorgeous pecks.with peeps leaning in 4
deep stacked together like some many layered sandwich. And then 4 Blues..
blowing those many story stacked spouts ..with  their infamous sideways
flukes.. plus 1500 Common Dolphins .And of course as we turned to head
home..one knows to never take their eyes off the water because low &
behold.. BAM.!!. that phenomenal crescendo of the Humpback breach.! Woo
Hoo.. Gorgeous day on the water & very brilliant / magical UPCLOSE &
PERSONAL encounters with the Whales !! Thank you to  Capt.Matt, Dave /
Dennis & my fellow CINC Volunteers.. Being out on the CX Rocks !!  Always
grateful.. Did I miss something. Oh yes.. a very brief encounter with a
Mola Mola..
