We made some new Dolphriends on our afternoon trip today!
We set out to the west, and spotted a pod of ~75 Long-beaked Common dolphins traveling slowly to the north! We got great looks as they rode the bow and surfed in our wake! They were very boat friendly! There were plenty of cow/calf pairs sighted all around us! We continued out to deeper water and spotted some big splashes near the horizon! Then we spotted some dolphins launching out of the water like rockets! We knew then we had Short-beaked Common dolphins! They were so fun to watch breach and porpoise all around us. We turned the engines off and could hear them chatting with each other! We even heard the longest, loudest whistle, everyone was stoked!
Hope to sea ya on the next one!
