Mega Migration

There was wave after wave of dolphins

Today the dolphins migrated south. Charlotte counted 6 dolphin pods. The bay was full, they came in waves. There were approximately 60 dolphins !

While we swam with the first group the last group waited in front of our beach and two dolphins did a couple of spectacular jumps. It was right there, we were always sit. They seemed to call us.

The water was full of sounds - dolphin communication is strangely beautiful. It is like listening into an extra terrestrial radio station.

And these groups were highly interactive today. And they accepted us in completely and being very interactive. Amazing !

We recognized many, there was the dolphin with the cord attached, the huge adults, the dolphin couple and many others.

Finally out of breath I went back in and let Charlotte and Marco have their turn.
These are all Charlotte´s pictures. When they finished they got back into the kayak. The pod was well past. I had to row hard to catch up with the pod. When I did and it was my turn I found that my mask has disappeared. We must have dropped it somewhere...

I spent the rest of the day zigzaging our bay with a snorkel and another mask - to no avail.
Shit happens - at least I tried. #*%&!!

The whistles and clicking sounds were constant

They took us in as during the last sessions

He studies us, we study him

After this group came another and then another 

They swam past us, turned around to pass again, a little closer  

This one wiggled and invited us to play

It is quite apparent how inviting the group is

A last close look
