 The 16th June was "dolphin day" for a family from Dallas, Texas, when they were aboard the Frances Jane, returning from a sightseeing cruise around the Lyme Bay area and were surprised by a pod of up to 30 common dolphin swimming and playing around the gently moving boat!
Skipper, Doug made a quick call to Harry May, another popular local skipper, and it wasn't long before he joined Frances Jane with some passengers, and the dolphin stayed with the boats for around 25 minutes. This is the first time for four years that Doug has seen dolphin in these numbers, back in 2004 there was a pod of around 18 bottle-nosed dolphin, and Harry may said "this is the first time for many years that we have been visited by such a large pod of common dolphin" This surely has to be great news, just aftert hearing of the death of 26 dolphin in Cornwall recently, and what some lucky Texans, to have such a privilege!
Should you need to speak with skipper Doug, the numbers are: 01308-420970, landline, or 07890-739625 mobile,
