Today our Spotter Carlos lead us several times to some rare guests, travelling through the southwestern waters. About four miles off the coast we recognized their high dorsal fins and the light bodycolouration of a small school of Risso’s dolphins. It is the only dolphin species, which have a vertical line at their foreheads.
The guests of the afternoon tour with Stenella focussed with a special healing ceremony for the wellbeing of our sick Oceans. With many good thoughts, wishes, cristals and music, they sent good vibes into the deep blue. During the ceremony there came over sudden a big school of Atlantic spotted Dolphins close to the boat. We see it as a positive response from the sea, saying thank you for this “message” . It is great and encouraging to see, that many people take action for the wellbeing of our Oceans. Thank you so much for this wonderful gesture.
