Making a Splash!

Alot has been happening in beautiful Mandurah since our last blog. The dolphins have been very active in the last few weeks and we have been seeing larger numbers of dolphins recently. Newest member to our crew Alex, skipper onboard "Super Cat" was recently welcomed by the dolphins with a big splash! A pod of 4 dolphins showed both skipper and passengers how its done in Mandurah, jumping right out of the water wetting all onboard, including Kat our deckie who got so wet she had to borrow a jumper to keep warm while hers hung out to dry.

Nikky is also back in town after being missing for a number of weeks, this is not unusual for Nikky at this time of year as she often disappears for weeks at a time then returns again. Another of our favourite dolphins White Spot has been seen around the estuary in recent weeks, and as one of Mandurahs best jumpers he did not disappoint on his last visit. White Spot was seen at the start of the cruise near the Ocean Marina with his pod of 6, with lastest member a small calf, they then joined us on the other side of the estuary at the entrance to the canals and chased the "Super Cat" all the way into the entry of the Peel Inlet. The calf joined in the fun not quite sure what to do but the adults were putting on a great show leaping out of the water, 3 dolphins on either side of the boat it was hard to know where to look with all the excitment.

"Dancing Dolphin" hasnt missed out either, with pods of dolphins playing on the bow waves and catching large Octopus and Cobblers and showing passengers by throwing them into the air. Julie and Coel onboard "Dancing Dolphin" have been really lucky last week spending time with a pod of dolphins with two small calves, as the mothers showed them how to ride the bow wave and having some fun themselves by rolling, twirling and swimming upside down.
