[CINC] CONDOR EXPRESS -- DOWN due to FIRE

[Scott Cuzzo]

Dino Dal Bon, Gary Delanoye and myself were on the boat today for the 12-2-30 trip.  The seas were rough, we didn't see whales, and spotted only a couple of bottlenose as we returned to the harbor.  It seemed like an ordinary boat ride.  How very sad.

I will of course keep everyone posted as we hear more. For now, all whale watch trips are obviously canceled.
