[CINC] Speed Twin 5/1

[Cathy Sandoval]

An Er cow/calf pair just outside the harbor, at noon.

We followed Mom and Baby for almost the entire trip. Cruising slowly seemed
appropriate, as we had aboard 13 folks from an assisted living facility. The
greys were very close to the shore. When we got off Henry's they slowed. A
shark suddenly jumped out of the water ( I didn't see it, but crewmember
Donny and a local did). Mom abruptly turned around and led her calf right
into very shallow beach waters, where they stayed for 10 minutes or so. Mom
was stressed and flapping around, in barely enough water to move in! People
started to gather on shore. It was a relief to see them head back out and
west again, at a much faster pace than earlier.

The 3:00 was a no-go.
