[CINC] CX, JANUARY 23

[HAL ALTMAN]

GROUP 1:  5 GRAY WHALES
GROUP 2:  2 GRAY WHALES

Noteworthy:  The 5 Grays stayed clustered in their southbound journey and
each of them fluked with every dive.  They were heavily encrusted with both
barnacles and whale lice.  The second group were likely the season's first
mom and calf pair, with the tiny, smooth-skinned calf looking no more than
a few days old.  Both groups barely broke water with their snorkeling
technique and stayed topside a scant minute or two.

Nice to see Rae Emmett and Ginny Fischer again, as well as Capts. Dave and
(Double T) Matt.

ENJOYING LIFE,
Hal Altman
