[CINC] 3pm Speed Twin

[Laura Shelton]

Great trip with the Speed Twin crew, Brian Resnik and 25 whale watching enthusiasts. 

We had an 8 year old who told us that she really wanted to see dolphins. Or Mom told us. She was the only child on board this afternoon and Capt Steve knew about her wish too. We sure did find them!! We found a mega pod of common dolphins that could have been 2000 just prior to turning around. 

We had headed towards the platforms because Capt Steve had been told that 40 humpbacks were spotted last night in the vicinity. We also saw 25 common dolphins early on which was a very happy moment for all of us who had spoken to the Dolphin Girl. 

And our first viewing was of a Minke whale which was very exciting. We got some pretty good looks although he or she was traveling quickly. 

And then we saw 4 different Humpbacks. A juvenile/calf? breached as we approached. We had some great flukes and some close looks.
