The baby parade continues! We had clear skies, blue water, and miles of visibility today. We actually spotted one of the pods from 3.5 miles out — picking out a 7‑ft dolphin at that distance takes good glass and great viz.
The bottlenose pod was moving slowly except for one huge dolphin that turned the bow into a splash zone, breaching just feet away again and again.
Farther out, a pod of 300+ short‑beaked common dolphins stretched across the horizon. No matter which direction we looked, there they were.
Sunset cruise next!
