Overcase skies did not deter the cetaceans. A young lunge-feeding Humpback Whale proved to be quite a glutton, and then we moved west to find lunge-feeding Blue Whales. After leaving Santa Cruz Island we came upon no less than three Minke Whales too. Add a dash of the always popular Common Dolphins and it was another day in paradise on the Santa Barbara Channel.
