[EUGENE RADDING]

18 Humpbacks; 500+ Common Dolphins (just a normal ordinary whale watching day). Capt Mat announced to the some 69 passengers that the water in the channel was going to be bumpy but only three opted out. It was bumpy and too much for a few of the brave souls on board but the majority were thrilled by the fluking, pec slapping, etc., etc. that they witnessed. The whales were within 5 to 7 miles of shore so we were able to avoid much of the rough seas in the channel. Marie Ornelas and Morgan Coffey were along for the ride. (Aren't we lucky people to get to share Nature's antics!)
