\nThis morning, we finally had good weather so we could go out to the ocean. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nOur first surprise on the way out was a sunfish<\/a> that we spotted from aboard our catamaran. This unusual looking fish is the largest bony fish in the world, reaching up to about 1,000 kg in weight. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nFurther along the coastline, we had plenty of dolphins to see. First, we encountered some playful bottlenose dolphins<\/a> who seemed to be enjoying accompanying our boats. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nA bit further, there was a group of common dolphins<\/a>, spread out over a large area. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe also spotted quite a few Cory’s shearwaters<\/a> today, which is a good sign that Spring is just around the corner.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
