Tuesday 21 September 2010 - Dolphins Teeming

Every splash a dolphin and only 10% of school above water at any one time!
Coming out of the mist we came upon the largest school of dolphins imaginable. The water was just boiling with them as far as the eye could see. Over 200 Pacific White Sided Dolphins came out to play, darting in front of the bow and jumping through the wake at the back of the boat. Some of them kept jumping out of the water – SEE THE VIDEO CLIP!!! Liam and I lay over the bow of the boat and watched them in the clear water. Everytime they came up to breathe they splashed us with sea spray. They were so playful and fast – truly amazing creatures. We spent a long time having fun with them as they played with the boat.

 


Eventually we left them behind and a little further came across the smaller Hull’s Purpoises who also played along in the bow wave. They too were fast, but not as easy to see and they did not make as much of a spectacle above the water.
