All at Sea…

By ruthsmyth | 2nd July 2014

Hallo zusammen,

dank der Einladung von treuen Speedy-Paten, der Familie White, konnte ich kürzlich an zwei Ausfahrten mit dem Boot teilnehmen. Am Montag waren wir in der Nähe von Cromarty unterwegs und haben Rainbow und ihren zweijährigen Nachwuchs gesehen. Beiden geht es sehr gut. Am Dienstag fuhren wir etwas weiter aufs Meer hinaus und konnten ca. 15 Delfine beobachten. Unter ihnen auch Speedy, Mischief, Spirit, Shimmer und diese beiden Kameraden, die unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zogen:

Ich kenne den Delfin im Hintergrund sehr gut. Es ist ein junges Männchen, ID#817, einer vom sogennanten “Club der bösen Jungs” und er hat uns während unseres Bootstrips mit voller Absicht eine Dusche verpasst. Sehr lustig, mein Freund!

Viele Grüße,
Charlie
