What a lovely sunny day, after many days with rain and wind, and a adventures tour out on the big blue. Today we had common dolphins everywhere, we started with them just outside the marina. We had a large group spread out over several miles, it seemed as they were coming together, maybe to feed. We had several wonderful encounters and after a while we headed further out just to see if we could find something else, especially around the fishing boats. All we saw was a school of mackerel jumping – dolphin food, but no dolphins. We had our hopes on bottlenose dolphins, but we had to be happy with common dolphins and who is not?
