CALENDAR OF EVENTS UPCOMING EVENTS 2007 BLUES OF SUMMER (ACS-LA & CMA)  - Saturday, August 11, 2007 An all-day whale watching trip with marine biologist guides. WHEN: Saturday, August 11, 2007, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. WHERE: Santa Barbara Harbor on the Condor Express. Cost: $90 ($80 for ACS members) CONTACT: Diane Alps, (310) 548-0966 We'll board the 75-foot Condor Express in Santa Barbara Harbor for a full day excursion, heading out toward Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands, 20 miles offshore. Explore the Santa Barbara Channel, one of the most prolific whale watching locations in the world. Discover the endangered blue whales as they gorge themselves on schools of krill. Experienced naturalists will be aboard to narrate the trip and answer questions. The 75-foot, jet-powered Condor Express departs from SEA Landing in Santa Barbara.  Other marine life we regularly see in the Channel are humpback whales, minke whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, Dall's porpoise, Pacific white-sided dolphins, Risso's dolphins, northern right whale dolphins, elephant seals and California sea lions. Of course we also see many species of marine birds such as shearwaters, storm petrels and gulls.
