[CINC] Condor 05/16/13

[Vivi Teston]

Thanks Maura for todays sightings report. I had a feeling it  would be
great today . Blue & humpbacks! Well I was slated to join Maura & much to
my shagrin I wasnt aware the CX was departing @ 9 AM instead of 10 AM as my
volunteer spot showed .  So when I arrived @ the Sea Landing 9;30 AM the
boat had already left,: ( So sorry you didnt have support of other
naturalist on board. my heart really sank to find you already gone. I have
been working full tilt & did not read the email about early departures this
month.. Anyhoo, Sounds like it was awesome day !!! Thanks for getting out
there.
