26.06.2017 – Now she is here

Now she is here! Today we welcomed our new Summer guide Paula at Lobosonda. Welcome! Now we are complete and the season can start. On our way to the Atlantic Spotted dolphins on our afternoon trip we crossed ways with Bottlenose dolphins. Since it was a small group which weren’t really interested to interact with us, we respected this and set off to an intense sighting with Spotted dolphins. They came in long jumps towards the boat and escorted us. We also saved the ocean a little bit and fished quite a few pieces of fishing nets, a paint roller and a pot out of the sea. Everybody had a look at the Trigger fish which found shelter in the pot, but surely he was right away released into the ocean. Daniel explained to our guests why this fish got this name. If you press on the big fin on top, nothing moves but if you press on the small fin behind the big fin lays down, a trigger point.
