One great gray whale and then….

Captain Eric headed out into a moderate breeze at 9am and quickly found a very cooperative gray whale. This whale not only had 3 minute down times, but came alongside the Condor Express frequently as Eric followed along. The whale was first located off the old Lighthouse, and we continued with it until we were practically at the Goleta Pier. At this point the wind had gone past 25 knots and was nearing 35 knots. Seas were mounting and the surface was white with foam. It was a successful 9am trip, but the rest of the day had to be put down due to weather.

The forecast for tomorrow should be better. You never know what Mother Nature will have in store.
