<p class=MsoNormal>It was a lottery ticket day! Captain Dave found us a small
group of Bottle Nose Dolphins just off Stearn's Wharf. Then he headed for the "gap."
We no more than arrived and Cap'n Dave spotted some blows. We spent a long
time with several groupings of Humpies. There was one juvenile who was very
entertaining with tail throws. Then Cap'n Dave announced that everybody should
buy a lottery ticket when the returned to shore as this was truly their
"lucky day." Then he explained that he had spotted a Blue Whale.
Everybody immediately rushed to the bow. It took another ten to fifteen
minutes for Cap'n to get located with the Blue and we followed it for a nice
period of time. Everybody on board was very thrilled to have been a part of
the "first sighting" of the year of a Blue on the Condor. Then we
headed for Painted Cave and home. On the way in Cap'n found a large pod of
Short Beaked Common Dolphins, which was the perfect ending to our Lottery Ticket
day!<o:p></o:p></p>
