15.11.2016 – Planning with nature

Published by lobosonda on November 21, 2016

During the morning trip with Stenella, having some guests exited to snorkel with dolphins, there were Pilot whales and sadly that was the only sighting for the morning, while in the afternoon on the Ribeira Brava we finally saw again a large group of Spotted dolphins, with the Winter we have less trips, but nevertheless we have some challenging months ahead, planning trips with various variables to consider like weather conditions, guests, service requests, specific species for the Snorkelling trips and less staff, we wish a nice and safe trip back home to our dear Summer guide Judith that has gone back to her homeland. She was during the Summer an authentic “LobiMermaid”, we wish her some good times back home, and perhaps until next season!!!?
