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.
