AM trip:
Approx 45 passengers, most with a large tour group. 
Saw about 350 common dolphin in three separate pods. 
No whales until about 10 minutes before the end of the trip when 4 grays were spotted.  Cpt. Anthony stayed out an extra half hour so passengers got great views and lots of photo ops.

PM trip:
Headed back to find the 4 grays we had left earlier.  Caught up with them and the seven passengers got their fill of grays.  After leaving the whales, the only other sighting was a pod of about 50 common dolphin.

The day was sunny and calm.  Laura Shelton was the other naturalist on board. 

Thanks to Cpt. Anthony and crew Luke and Steve for their persistence in finding the whales and two good trips!
