Dolphins Sighted Again!
Saturday December 1: A school of up to 20 dolphins is sighted off the bow of the Ferry departing Silver Eel Cove @ approximately 8:20am.
The boat slows down to a near stand still while leaving the slip. Debbie Doucette of the ferry district happens to actually be on the vessel and reports how extraordinary this observation is and how beautiful.
As no photos have surfaced yet, I am not certain whether these animals were Common dolphins or the Atlantic Bottlenose (resembles “Flipper”) species. Common dolphins have an hourglass shaped pattern on their sides in shades of yellow, white and grey.
