Day 2. By Calvin

An early start led to a swift breakfast and onto the boat. Heading out to survey it wasn’t long before our first sighting. Two Humpback Dolphins were spotted not far off and the boat approached. A further sighting nearer the coastline gave us a third cetacean in and some nice photo’s to match. The rest of the morning was interspersed with a few possible Dugong sightings and heading back to the resort.
The afternoon proved less fruitful but a large Dugong breached the surface not far from the boat and was a confirmed sighting for the afternoons search effort. As the day progressed nothing further was seen and the evening was spent chatting and making sure the 5 Dolphins seen so far were correctly labelled and ready for the database!
