<DIV>Seen: 2 Blues close to shore in less than 200 feet water depth</DIV>
<DIV> Several pods of Common Dolphin- from 50 to 250 in number</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Other naturalists included Marty Flam & Carol Shoemaker (PID). We followed the pair of Blues for about an hour. They were in such shallow waters that they were not able to do any deep dives. The day started off gray with fairly calm seas then rougher seas as we headed further west. The sun did come out nicely later in the day. We ventured <STRONG>very</STRONG> far into Painted Cave. Passengers were from all over- India, Netherlands, UK, Philadelphia, New York, & points closer. Another wonderful day! I don't think that we had any sick passengers!</DIV>
