Four different species of cetaceans.

2016 04-03 SB Channel

Captain Eric found extremely glassy calm conditions as we sometimes do when the fog is upon us. He ran two trips today and the fog lifted a little for the second excursion. Four different species of cetaceans were observed. The Condor Express found about 600 long-beaked common dolphins, 2 Minke whales, 4 humpback whales, and 10 Pacific white-sided dolphins today. Most of the cetaceans were feeding on scattered northern anchovy bait balls. Two of the humpback whales, seen on the second trip, came by the boat and were friendly. Four different species of cetaceans was a good day by any standard.
