[CINC] Condor Friday 13th

[Debbie Shelley]

A very lucky Friday 13th

24 humpbacks 
6 blue whales
80 common dolphins

We had the best Friday the 13th ever.  Full boat whales here, there, and everywhere.  We also got mugged by the calf with all the barnacles.  We had named the whale Barnacle Bill on Tuesday, but Captain Mat noticed it was a female so we renamed her Barnacle Betty.  I think she must be on the payroll for both the Condor and Island Packers as we see her so often.  She is one special whale.  John on PID got 18 photo IDs on the whales we saw.  We were not able to get a fluke shot on Barnacle Betty.  All the passengers had a whale of a time.   Another great day in paradise.   Thanks to the crew Captain Mat, Dennis and Matt and other naturalist Shirley Johnson and John Kuiz...    And me the luckiest one of all to be on the Condor with all aboard and the wonderful marine life.  Debbie Shelley
