It’s been a huge fortnight here at Mandurah Cruises and we are happy to report that the local dolphins were not scared away by the international water sport athletes that took over the waterways through the Chanel Seven Mandurah Crab Fest! In fact, talk to some of our boat crews here and I think they would fill you in on the jumping techniques they (the dolphins) may have picked up from the pro’s. If you believe the dolphins have taught us to jump or we have influenced the dolphins jumping technique is entirely your decision, and is a good topic to discuss while out and about on our cruises!
