Dolphins, Dolphins, Whales and Rays
The trip down from Dominica to Bequia was notable for the
number of dolphin sightings and on a couple of occasions the number of dolphins
in the Pod. (is that the right term?) We have also seen at least two, possibly three types
during the passages but as they move so fast it is difficult to get good close
up shots that would enable us to confirm the type. On the SW corner of Dominica we also saw a couple of
Pilot Whales but as yet have not sighted the Sperm or migratory Humpbacks that
this area is noted for. We are now anchored in Port Elizabeth on Bequia and when
returning from a dinghy trip ashore we spotted two large rays making a lot of
commotion on the surface in the bay. Very unusual behaviour but perhaps this is
their mating season? Here are a couple of good dolphin shots taken by Katie
(sorry no whales as we saw them when trying to handle 30 knot winds with gusts
up to 38 knots. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4068 (20090512) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |
