Excellent conditions, excellent sightings

2018 07-12 SB Channel

Captain Dave reported excellent conditions in the Santa Barbara Channel today with sunny skies and very flat, calm seas.  Mammal sightings were, once again, terrific.  8+ blue whales, 1 fin whale, 1 humpback whale and 400 long-beaked common dolphins were closely watched today.

The first sightings were south of The Lanes off the coast of beautiful Santa Cruz Island.  A lone humpback was moving around the zone and kicked up its flukes on every dive.  Tall spouts nearby belonged to many blue whales and a single fin.  Although there were more giant blues around today, we closely watched 8 individuals.  A group of several hundred dolphins also passed through during the whale watching.

On the way home another hundred dolphins located the Condor Express and were our last mammals seen today.
