A flat, calm, overcast and drizzly day which yielded tremendous wildlife! The Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) did some lunge feeding, the Risso's Dolphins (Grampus griseus) came around and one breached, the Common Dolphins (Delphinus capensis) rode alongside the Condor Express, and the Pacific White-sided Dolphins (Lagenorhyncus obliquidens) were on the scene too. At one point, a juvenile California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus) got extremely close to two Humbacks and there was some interaction between the species.
