Flying fish were OUT OF CONTROL today — absolutely stealing the show. Even with hundreds of dolphins around, these little rockets were launching 4–5 at a time from our wake and staying airborne for 100 yards or more. Total chaos. Total joy.

And then the spine‑tail mobulas showed up doing what they do best: BACKFLIPS. Again and again.
This El Niño is bringing in some seriously fun visitors. We’re crossing our fingers for a whale shark or pilot whales next.
