[CINC] Condor 1/26

[in]

Grays: 5
Dolphins: 0
Sea Lions: Lots
People: 31

In and out of the fog today, but mostly out once by the SCI/SRI notch where 3 somewhat shy Grays came into view. In the same area, a large and spread out raft of sea lions was encountered. Since it was a bit choppy and windy. Capt. Mat turned east to cruise along SCI. Two more Grays appeared and provided a couple of nice fluke views. Good looks at Release Cove and at Blimp Hanger Cave, but conditions not right for Painted Cave. The Condor pressed on to the East in search of dolphins for a Canadian family who REALLY wanted to see some, but it was not to be.

Nice folks from the UK, including a couple I have now met 3 times over 3 years on the Condor!  A family from Poland, the Canadians and locals from Santa Ynez, San Diego and L.A. 

Capt. Mat at the helm, Tasha and Matt as crew and Michael Berg and Debbie Shelley as Naturalists and yours truly, the PID guy today.
