We initially headed for painted cave but weather conditions were too severe within 12 miles of Santa Cruz so we headed  east downwind all the way to Ancapa. On the back side we encountered both the Risso’s and Offshore Bottlenoses. On our return towards Santa Barbara we spotted the Humpback about 7 miles from shore, he was somewhat elusive and then suddenly breached to the delight of all! Conditions were rough but the majority of the passengers had a great time. It was a pleasure working with Carole and the crew.
