[CINC] Condor 10/16

[garydel at aol.com]

Isn't it amazing how fast the weather changes here??  Today on the Condor was another "day of the dolphin" with four pods that totaled about 1500... at least, and lots of sunshine and fair conditions. One Minke put in a characteristically brief appearance at a distance. Beaufort was 1-2 with west swells up to six feet. Eighteen of twenty passengers handled this up-and-down well. Visibility included San Miguel from the harbor entrance... that doesn't happen every day!  Visitors included UCSB economics students from Germany, and an adventurous Brit bound for a Farallon shark dive. I suggested to him that he stay inside the cage! Also,  American locals from L.A.,  Chicago and elsewhere in the mid-west. 

Leeza Charleboix and I did our best to make the day informative to this most pleasant crowd. Matt, Dave and Amanda, too,  made sure that all had a great day at sea.
