9-24-20 “Calm Seas & Humpbacks”

Blue  blue, blue! The post-smoke alleviation still resounds with the fleet, as light breezes, clear skies, and calm seas grace the passengers. Today’s morning trip encountered some ten humpback whales. Again, the hoard of Risso’s Dolphin made an appearance for the AM tour. The afternoon winds picked up a bit, and the PM passengers enjoyed a bit of a fun ride while we relocated the morning’s whales, some 6 in total. Alas, the dolphin were not to be seen, but as far as statistics go, it only means that we’re bound to see them tomorrow!
