Humpbacks

Supposed to be on at 5pm, 6pm and 11pm news on Channel
3

The Sunday Santa Barbara News-Press article on the
Humpbacks plus beautiful weather brought out a group
of 35 very enthusiastic and excited locals and
visitors from the US and abroad.  We saw a couple
groups of Bottlenose dolphins upon leaving Stearns
Wharf and started heading out to where Capt Steve and
crew had seen such large numbers of Humpback towards
Goleta. The rolling swells and breaching whales in the
distance really got everyone excited... We all enjoyed
watching the feeding humpbacks joined by a lot of sea
lions and a few Pacific White-sided Dolphins that came
right up to the boat. There were some close looks,
flukes, a couple spyhops and everyone was very
satisfied including the Press guests.
