Saturday 22nd June 04.30-09.00 S2-3 cloud cover mostly but some bright sun, choppy sea
I had Mark Newsome and Steve Addinall (eventually)for company
After more Dolphins on Friday i was hopeful of more and i wasn't disappointed when at 04.40 i saw 2 very distant Dolphins breaching fully out of the water with lots of splashing. Sadly it was only a brief sighting and i didn't see them again. The other main highlight was a magnificent Hobby that went south close in giving stunning views
