Happy St. Patty's Day!
It's getting to be late in the season; so I took advantage of this day and spent it on the boat! The weather was not ideal for whale sightings, but I was determined to find a whale!
During the AM cruise, we were blessed with the sighting of RISSOS dolphins - majestic and fun to watch! There were about 30 in the group. The passengers were thrilled and I reminded them that this IS a special treat.
We had better luck on the PM cruise... not only did we see a group of ~50 RISSOS- putting on a spectacular show, but on the way back to the bay (southbound along the Kelp Beds), Capt Jeff *finally* spotted a blow. It turned out to be a Female/Calf pair. Then, a 3rd (adult) whale showed itself. I wish we could have stayed longer; but the boat had to return to dock...
