9am

2 Humpbacks with one lunge feed in the middle of sea lions

Then became very elusive and difficult to PID

400+ Commons  jumping in bait fish everywhere with porpoising sea lions and
seabirds everywhere

 

12pm

A new Humpback sighting with the Double Dolphin nearby - this  one came
close to the boat while playing in some kelp 

Huge feeding frenzy of gulls, cormorants, pelicans, sea lions and 400+
common dolphins with lots of porpoising sea lions

 

3 pm

2 new Humpbacks - one was Chewy with the right side of his/her fluke mostly
chewed off by orcas

Several flukes; one full body breach all the way out of the water 

The same 400 commons at almost the exact location as the last trip

 

Good weather and good seas all days; lots of happy people

 

Kevin and Toni Bailey
