Bank Holiday Monday continued the weekend's excitement, we saw the “ Super Pod “ of offshore bottlenose dolphins! We usually only get to see these on very rare and special occasions and last season we only interacted with them twice!
However, on one of those magical and special interactions last year. We recorded some +- 200 individuals, covering some two miles of sea.
From the front of this massive “ Super Pod “ to the very last few individuals coming along in the rear.
The dolphins were spied by Captain Keith way off in the distance early into the trip, picking up the pace we throttled over to see what the commotion was about, there they were over 100 bottlenose dolphins playing in the waves. We stayed with the animals for over 45 minutes, as they were all truly besotted with those two bulbous bows and their resulting bow pressure waves and just wouldn’t leave us alone. Rushing in repeatedly and we very slowly bumbled along. They completely surround “ Spirit of Our Seas “ playing in the wake of the boat and around her sides and quite literally queuing up to play on the bow. It was a truly magical experience. We then motored across the bay towards Gull Rock where we admired the Auk colony and watched the local birds building nests.
