Monterey Bay Whale Watch said on Facebook that their scouting boat spotted the dolphins when it went out to “perform a survey on the coast south of Monterey,” about a 120 miles southwest of San Francisco.
The tour agency said its team counted 33 gray whales, 1,500-plus Risso’s dolphins and three northern right whale dolphins as they undertook the 60-mile roundtrip from Monterey to Point Sur.
