[CINC] CondorX, Sunday, May 24 + dolphin stranding on SRI story link

[Paul Jr. Petrich]

High all from Sicily,
 I don,t think excessive poetic license was used by the skipper of the Wave Walker! For sure a mistake was made about the species, but that is where we can help, not hinder such enjoyable encounters with our increasingly gregarious friends of the deep.  As a three year volunteer with CINC , I have been a witness to a composit of such wonderous activity by Humpbacks in the channel. Have not most of us? Thanks skipper Dave, I will share your sightings with my Sicilian friends to show what can be, and should be, in a region where only mythology now reveals encounters with our friends from the deep.   Paul

Topics of discussion: 1. The "Whale of a Tale" story, 
which seems to be just that - lots of poetic license in an embellished story 
(I'm sure there were Blues but he made up the bubble feeding antics for 
dramatic effect.). 2. The stranding of 5 Northern Right Whale Dolphins on Santa 
Rosa Island on Friday. Here a link to the story (this one true - unfortunately):
