Sightings:	
		1200 common dolphins
		5 minke whales
		2 humpback whales

We began our trip under overcast skies, but finished under blue  
skies!  Dolphins were with us most of the day, and passengers were  
thrilled.  We saw a lone Minke, then finally came upon Rope and her  
pal.  We stayed with them for a long time while they treated  
passengers to views of surface swimming and flukes on many dives.  On  
the return trip we encountered four more minkes.

Passengers were from Germany, Switzerland, England, Florida, New  
York, New Jersey and  California.

Thanks to Captains Mat and Dave, Matt in the galley and Bob Perry  
taking pictures.
