Just something about the ocean today! MY GOODNESS – some sort of magical – you could just FEEL it – SO alive! Both trips today had a MASSIVE pod of short beaked common dolphins erupt into stampede! White water like a tidal wave RUSHING toward us- but as we got closer – DOLPHINS – EVERYWHERE! We see dolphins often but, stampedes like this don’t happen often. If i had to compare it to something on land, it would be like seeing a massive heard of wild horses just running free as fast as they can. There truely are no words, it takes your breath away. We saw a friendly pod of bottnose dolphin as well, they played at the bow and did some people watching. There were ENOURMOUS stretches of ocean that were FILLED TO THE BRIM with baitfish. The sea conditions were so perfect – it looked like Hawaii water – hues of blue I usually only see in my dreams.
It’s something else out here – RUSH to come see while this supremely gorgeous weather lasts!
