[CINC] Shearwater 4/21/09

[Dennis Carlson]

Two different pairs of Humpbacks visited the Shearwater during a Plumes & Blooms Research cruise 2/21/2009.  We were operating about 6 miles NE of Santa Rosa Island.  In the same general area we spotted more than a dozen other humpies breaching, pec-slapping,  feeding and doing what whales do.

In the early afternoon about 6 miles south of Coal Oil Point we saw about two dozen Northern Right Whale Dolphin headed east.  

Beautiful spring day on the ocean.
