style='font-size:12.0pt'>There was an enthusiastic group of 37 passengers
aboard with Capt. Steve at the helm. Represented among the visitors were <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">England</st1:country-region>
and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
Within the <st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region> we had <st1:State
w:st="on">Kentucky</st1:State>, <st1:State w:st="on">Nebraska</st1:State> and <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Texas</st1:place></st1:State> represented.
The 3 German college students were wonderful; they were so inquisitive, asking
many questions and sharing previous observations. They were completely
interested in what was going on. I was ready to bring them home for
dinner at the conclusion of the trip. Other passengers were also quite
interested, asking lots of questions; it was a wonderful group to work with. The
lone exception being the one male who slept inside for most of the trip; except
for the time his head was buried in a plastic bag (doing you know what).
I don’t think he enjoyed the experience very much however he was
definitely the exception. About 6 miles out the spouts started appearing
- directly ahead, towards the port side, and yes towards the starboard
side. Capt. Steve was trying to locate those nearest the surface that he
thought would put on a good display for everyone. We soon settled on a
group of 3 and were with small groups for the next hour and one-half. There
were 3 breaches, but each one took place off the stern and as a result they were
missed by most passengers including yours truly. The wind did pick up and
was really blowing just a little further out. That didn’t dampen
the enthusiasm of the passengers who fully enjoyed the experience. I even
got a round of applause at the end of the day. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
