[CINC] CX Sun 10/18/2009

[Kevin Bailey]

5 Dall's Porpoise

40+700 (with about 20% babies) + scattered common dolphins

Sea lions porpoising around SCI

Sea lion rafts trying to get warm even though the water temp was 67 degrees

Several sea lions hauled out on rocks of SCI

Several Harbor Seals hauled out on rocks of SCI

We thought we might have seen a Bald Eagle cruising along the top of a
ridgeline on SCI but it was NOT clearly documented

A blue shark was seen for just a quick second cruising along SCI

Painted Cave was full of kelp so we couldn't get close

 

Capt Dave, Dennis and Amanda with Bob Perry and his wife along with
naturalist Debbie Shelley and myself counted for a 1/3 of the boat
population today

 

A very quiet peaceful day on the water today
