We got to see dolphins!
They are terribly shy creatures by nature, only allowing the curious and anticipating throngs of tourists a sneak peep of their majestic bodies. Riding atop a cruise at Nelson Bay, we saw grey fins sticking out from the great blue ocean. Once in a while, the dolphins would swim really close to our boat, but yet most of the time, they remained instinctively under the water. It seems like dolphins don’t really fancy loneliness that much, as we spotted many swimming in pairs.
You know how postcards and advertorials often feature dolphins jumping out of the water in a full-bodied perfect arc? Oh no! In reality, that is a rare sight to behold, and all my camera lenses managed to capture were fins, fins and more fins. As each time the dolphins allowed us a sneak peek of its full body in its entire glory, it would disappear swiftly into the bosom of the great ocean within the next second before I could snap a shot of it!
