[CINC] condor 2:30 truio

[Debbie shelley]

11 humpback whales
 
Most of the passenger's were student's  from SBCC marine biology.  We headed out to find the 2 humpbacks we had seen on the noon trip.  We encountered heavy fog and cold temps.  the Condor crew never gave up hope and finally at about 3:30 the miracle came, not really a miracle, but just the great crew of the Condor.  Thanks to the eagle eye of Captain Dave we came upon a pod of 5 humpbacks, then 3 behind us and an 2 more out in the distance.  It was a great show.  What's the deal with the humpie's come back so soon.   I guess the missed us as much as we missed them!  We all were a bit cold but everyone on board was very happy.  There were humpbacks spouting in the distance we did not have time to see.   Another great (cold) day in paradise.   A big huge thanks to the crew for never giving up!   Thanks Captain Dave, Dennis and Matt.  Rae and Debbie Shelley.
