Dolphin Mischief

Our Big, Big Three We’re always referring to the “Big 3” here at Dolphin Spirit, in reference to the 3 mammals often spotted out on our trips; otters, seals, and of course, dolphins. Well, while we had two of three spotted today, we certainly had an altogether different Big 3 out on the water, in…

We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat… Mischief got out today to enjoy the rays which graced the Outer Firth this afternoon; after the forecast of heatwave conditions for the rest of the country, we here up north were understandably wondering where ours would be. We got our “heatwave” in the form of some late sunshine…

Sightings Worth Celebrating Today’s morning sailings for Mischief and Spirit were very successful! The RIB of course set out first, trundling past the river and bridge and out towards Munlochy Bay. It was here that Mischief encountered our first dolphins of the day, before heading up to Chanonry in the hopes of finding more. When…

Chasing the Grey Away The Moray Firth with plagued with some pretty horrible weather today; with a tremendous westerly wind all day and some scattered, heavy showers throughout, it wasn’t exactly a day for going outside. However, that was not enough to deter our guide Krystyna (who took her usual sabbatical to Chanonry Point), or…

Cheeky Charlie Arrives in Style! If you’ve been following our blog, you will remember that yesterday Kesslet had a different visitor with her in the Kessock Channel, Scoopy. After anticipating that Charlie must have been at Chanonry Point with the others then, and finding out that he wasn’t, we could only wonder where he’d got…

A Mighty Sightings Day! Today started off with a little sunshine and some pleasant wind, but it quickly turned back to its usual grey with a fairly oppressive heat for most of the day. The weather certainly didn’t put us off going out though, and both Dolphin Spirit and Mischief got out for all of…

True Team! James and Freya are one of the real “power couples” of our Dolphin Spirit crew! Both of them are only around occasionally, with James working a new internship in Glasgow this summer, and Freya branching out into her own business, but when they are here they can take any job in their stride!…

River Ness Runway! This just in: the new summer fashion trend for our beautiful lady dolphins is seaweed bikinis, as shown by the lovely Kesslet as she hunted around the River Ness this morning. Sporting a delicate over-the-fin number, lovely Kesslet looked glam in the glittery morning sunshine, putting on quite the show for our…

A Grey Day in Many Ways The Moray Firth, in fact, most of Scotland, isn’t exactly known for its glorious weather; we’re already beginning to think that our summer is already over with the past couple of weeks of brilliant weather. With today’s flood warning and poor wind forecast, there was not a lot the…

The First Signs of New Life! Summer is a very exciting time for us here at Dolphin Spirit, as the Moray Firth will soon be home to lots of new little bundles of joy, and today we were lucky enough to see our first signs of it! On our 2pm sailing, our local pairing of…
