Wildlife

We've been out here for five days so far, and hardly seen a thing on the wildlife front. Supposedly a haven for lots of marine mammals and fish of all shapes and sizes.

But this morning, a pod, if you can call it that, of about 200, yes, 200 dolphins splished and splashed their way past. Probably spinner dolphins, as some of them would jump, spinning three or four times before landing with a huge fountain of a splash. Wonderful to see.

Then, not half an hour later, a massive whale wallows its way in a similar direction. Judging by its size and shape, it was a lone Minke whale, with a tiny dorsal fin.

And then, a couple of sea turtles playfully come up alongside, say hello, and then dive back to the depths again.

Hopefully that's the start of a great migration, and we'll get to see lots more marine wildlife in the coming days.

Cheers,
