Dolphins!!!!!!!!
We set out from Falmouth on Saturday morning (8th September) with the
sun burning through the early morning mist. The water was like glass
as we headed to Black rock, where approx 8 Grey seals were sat on the
rocks, looking at us. We then heading further out and gradually more
and more birds came into view….. first gannets, flying past, then more
Gannets sat on the water along with large numbers of gulls. Fish were
jumping out the water as the boat flew past ………and then there they
were……… Common dolphins!!!
We could see a group of approximately 10 feeding and then three other
groups further out, about 40 in all!
We sat watching them for a time at a respectable distance and then as
we moved away, they started to come towards us, riding our bow wave,
swimming under the boat and splashing around. They stayed with us for
about half an hour……
