9 humpbacks including a cow-calf pair, a blue whale and 2000 common dolphins

Not a bad trip.  Three of the humpback whales including the mother and her calf, were very friendly and mugged the Condor Express.  There were 2 megapods of at least 1,000 common dolphins and the first pod was located by the whitewater they kicked up during their full throttle, high-speed running.  The second pod was much more normal.  The lone blue whale came towards the end of the session out on the feeding grounds.  It had a long down time, but the surface interval made up for it and everyone on board was thrilled to see this giant.
