Short and sweet:

Common dolphin, many pods of various sizes all day, and a great big race to food in the late afternoon

Humpbacks, a mom and calf

Minke, one 

Blues, eight or so

Offshore bottle nose, 100, un-typically mid channel

Mola mola, many throughout the day

Safs?, these clear round ping pong size balls with a small center, sometimes in little chains...tons of them.  I thought IPCO's Steve said they were Safs or something, but I'm having no luck remembering or Googling...help?  Sort of jellyfish like, but very simple looking.

Roberta Soto was there to help with a pretty full boat of passengers from across the globe.  The day ended sunny and nice.  Everyone had lots of great views of humpbacks and blues, even the minke!  No breaching, mugging or spectacular behavior...but really great views!
