Tuesday, May 31st (Vessel Chubasco): The all-too-familiar Northwesterly winds loomed on the horizon, as Captain JJ led the charge on the mighty Chubasco. Barely 3 miles out, dozens and dozens of humpbacks surfaced this way and that, and while birds and sea lions abounded by hundreds or thousands, the SONAR continued to pick up massive schools of anchovies under the boat. After plenty of Fluke I.D.’s, the wind began to rise as a powerful sea breeze crept into the Bay. Satisfied with our looks, the timing couldnt have been more perfect. One and done for the ol’ “Chubby.”
