The weather was beautiful today and seas were calm.  Captain Anthony  
guided our adventure today, which included 1 fin whale, 1 blue whale,  
14 or so humpbacks, many pods of common dolphin, and one pod of about  
20-30 Risso's dolphins.  (There were other spouts in the distance  
too....)

The highlight was one humpback that came close to the boat and did  
repeated pec slaps for about 15 minutes.  This same whale was  
breaching in the distance before we got close to it.  Anthony took  
the boat deep into Painted Cave, which is always exciting.

Bill Weinerth was on PID and is always great fun to work with!!!

Happy Sightings!
