Saw two dolphins at Maho today!

Post by PSUWethr »

Got to Maho early today. When we got there there were tons of pelicans (15) going after baitfish right at shore. Very comical to watch. About an hour later I just happened to be looking out at the first swim bouy and saw a fin! :shock: I kept watching and a few min later I saw it again. There were two dolphins (bottlenose I think) that were playing in Maho Bay. They came all the way in to the dark patch closest to the beach and were jumping in and out of the water. It was so cool to see them so close (only about 25 feet from the edge of the water. They actually swam around some snorkelers who were quite surprised. I will post pics when I get home, but I just wanted to share. What an amazing day!
