Condor witnesses another spectacle of nature

“Epic.” That’s the word Captain Dave used to summarize the sightings made on today’s trip. The ol Condor headed into more giant balls of bait fish near the surface and all that goes with it. At least 2,000 common dolphins were actively feeding on the bait non-stop. At least seven humpback whales were there too. They were lunge feeding on the bait on the surface and more. Behaviors included tail throws, lob tails, pectoral fin slapping, and many breaching humpbacks too.

Sea conditions were a bit rough out near the islands, but closer to the feeding grounds things were nicer.

Hope to see you on board. Best,

Bob Perry Condor Express
