... crossed there would still be some around to see. A short trip down the round from the centre we were hopping into the boat to head out and search. After a while and no whales we spotted a pod of Dusky Dolphins, rare for this time of year, feeeding off a big shoal of fish. It was so fun seeing how playful and energetic they were riding in the wake of the boat, leaping acrobatically out of the water. Then we heard that a couple of whales ...
