28.11.2016 – Flipper

After days with rain we were able to find our way to our Blue Office. Quickly we found a Bottlenose dolphin pod and could travel with them for a while. These dolphin species are the most famous ones, due to the movie “Flipper”, but it was not for their favor. After the movie the industry of dolphinaria started booming. But these animals belong into the ocean! Here we would like to indicate our petition site. Currently the petition against the events in Taiji/Japan is from most importance!
During our afternoon trip we met at least six Sperm whales. What an amazing experience to see how the whale lifts his tale and dives into the blue depth.
