New mask and a fishing rod line

A new liquid mask camera is here to replace the one that drop into the deep blue two weeks ago.
It´s an upgrade to the previous one. Allows to dive down to 10 m and has "Video" function. I tried it out today, and what a surprise, it records sound under water (it´s me hooting, not the dolphins) ! And there seems to be an automatic stabilizer integrated - the images are much better now.

Last week we did see fins poking out of the water at two occasions but never met the dolphins.
There were two dolphins hunting at high speed.

Today before noon I see the fins again. The dolphins remain for a while in our bay without moving much. Two fishing boats are anchored at 100m from our beach. This would not have been possible before the revolution. Now anything is permitted.

I hush my 69 year old aunty Gaby into the kayak and row her out. Soon the two are beside us, right underneath the kayak.

The young dolphin swallowed a fishing rod line

My aunt takes the paddle and I go in. There are two dolphins, a mother and her child. The child has a fishing rod line hanging from his mouth, the string is approximately 5m long. I could have touched it, as it moved right in front of me, but I was afraid to cause him pain. Man made problems... what a shame !

They make two big circles around me and swim straight at me, turn around and move away. Visibility is very poor and I loose them out of sight. My aunt sees them lingering not far from me, I finally spot them but then loose them again.

This session was short, but we are happy to have been out there and know there are still two dolphins left. The rest of the pod has moved probably south for awhile. Let´s hope they come back soon...
