Sightings:

One gray whale
Zero dolphin

Today's Condor trip produced one gray whale that was found in "the gap" between Santa Cruz Island and Santa Rosa Island.  To me, it did not appear to be a fully grown adult.  It was very relaxed and repeatedly breathed three times, then going down for 3-5 minutes.  A couple fluke showings.  Nothing more than that.

There were zero sightings of any sort of dolphin.  Perhaps a testament to the presence of Orcas still in the area?  They were seen about a week ago...

Nice to see the gray, but sort of a quiet day on the water.  But sunny and beautiful nonetheless!

About 34 passengers on the Condor.  Many of them were very interested and had lots of great questions!
