More Dolphins

On two of Mara Mhor's trips today the boat was accompanied by a group of about 5 dolphins. On the first trip of the day we were joined at Cutter Rock in the Sound of Kerrera and the dolphins stayed with us until we returned to Oban bay. On a subsequent trip the dolphins were heading south down the Sound of Kerrera when they saw the boat and turned to swim alongside us for about 15 minutes. They put on another splendid exhibition of jumps and leaps which was enjoyed by all the passengers until they disappeared on reaching the mouth of Loch Feochan.
The obvious enjoyment of the dolphins could be something to do with the shape of the bulbous bows of the catamaran.
