Humpbacks and Dolphins

A lifeboat crew from Baltimore took the relief ALB Tyne to Kilmore Quay on Thursday and were blessed with fairly calm conditions. They spotted loads of dolphins along the whole southcoast trip and closer to Kilmore Quay saw other boats, hoping to catch a glimps perhaps of the humpback that featured on RTE news last Monday and Tuesday.
Check it out on http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1064981 as well as the Irish Whale & Dolphin Group website http://www.iwdg.ie
As soon as we have sightings closer to home (typically our area covers Galley Head to Mizen Head) we'll be running trips.
