[CINC] condor express 07/15

[Bhrian Resnik]

Naturalists: Laura Shelton, Brian Resnik, Photo ID Don Shubert

Sightings: Common Dolphin 25-50, three different occasions

                     Blue Whales 2; one only spouted, second followed for an
hour

 

Sixty passengers enjoyed relatively nice conditions with exception of
moderate to strong  winds and 4-5ft seas approx. 5 mi from west side of
Santa Rosa. Capt Mat followed one elusive Blue for about an hour; whale
stayed down for 10-12 min came up very briefly and then continued to sound.
Never got more than a partial view due to whale resurfacing several hundred
yards away from boat. Majority of passengers had a good time in spite of 

Our elusive Blue. It was a pleasure working with Laura, Bob and the Condor
crew.
