On our midday tour we went a little further out to observe the Atlantic spotted dolphins ( Stenella frontalis). During the evening tour, the Spotted dolphins stayed much closer to the coast. It was a big school, widely spread out. Sime of the dolphins had an early supper in fishy form. But quite a few dolphins also enjoyed surfing the bow waves, luckily for us. On the way back, our guests were able to view their possible dinner from afar. An Espada fishing boat held up the prey.
