It has been pretty chilly this week with brisk winds, however Friday the 13th was lucky for some, with no wind the sea was like a mill pond, a pod of about 20 Common Dolphins with the afternoon trip also spotting four harbour porpoises not to mention lots of Gannets and Guillemots.

What a beautiful day it was although still a little chilly,George the Bottlenose dolphin that we regularly see was out in the Carrick Roads this morning he is still on his own!Plenty of seals and sea birds also. We are waiting for some photo id of the lone dolphin spotted in Looe this week to see if it was George as the one sighted there also had a chunk missing from it's dorsal fin. Thank you to the Ambrose family for this picture.

Dolphins

Somebody pulled the plug out today a very low spring tide. We just made it off the berth! Today we were in for a real treat, 4 seals on Black Rock followed by a visit from George in the Carrick Roads. George is a bottlenose dolphin and is a regular visitor to Falmouth he has several large chunks missing from his dorsal fin. More seals sighted off St Anthonys Head and finally a pod of about 6 bottlenose dolphins off Pendennis Point oh and lots of blue sky and sunshine

The season has started.. Hooray! Passengers were well wrapped up as it was particularly nippy in Falmouth. A number of sea birds and seals were sighted. This afternoon reports from St Mawes ferry skipper advised us of dolphins just outside Falmouth harbour. A good way to start to the season
