[CINC] IPCO Adventure Feb 10

[Linda Hitt]

AM- 3 Greys southbound
       350 Common Dolphins in 2 groups

PM-2 Greys southbound

The morning was sunny with good swells navigated well by the captain.  The first 
whale was a juvenile which appreared very close to us in shallow water with no 
warning spout.  It did a lot of rolling behavior & provided good views.  The 
later two also did a lot of rolling & stayed at the suface more than usual, to 
the delight of the passengers.  There were some small spyhops & headlobs.  A few 
dolphin wre interacting with them.  


The afternoon clouded up & seas were less forgiving.  We did find a couple of 
Greys which became very shy & were snorkeling most of the time.  No dolphins for 
the afternoon!
