[EUGENE RADDING]

How about 14 Humpbacks (including a mother and calf), 11 Blue whales in the area north of San Miguel (almost 40 miles from the Harbor) and no dolphins. Included in the 114 passengers was a sea lion on his/her way back to the wild and Nigel Marven of Animal Planet and a film crew. The ride was a little bumpy but not too bad. Eileen Avery and Lisa Angle PID were really great to work with. I also enjoyed talking to Michael Smith on board with us. The famous Capt Mat (see the LATIMES OF 8/22/09) along with Capt. Dave and Jacque made it all happen.
 
It's still Paradise out there!
