On one of the next days I managed to finish clearing that trail I started on day three. It’s been hard work, but it felt good after it was done. This was also the first time I saw where this trail actually goes to. It leads to a beautiful small sand beach in the south of the island.Just when I was about to jump in the water we got a message from the other team on the water that they found dolphins. We quickly got our things together jumped into the boat and went there. When we arrived, we found a single dolphin chasing fish into the rocks of the shore. We followed him (we don’t know if it’s a male or female, but we all called it a “him”) going up and down all along the shore. The water was very clear and we got close so we could see him very good. Some of us entered the water to see him under water, but he just ignored us and went his way.

One time he used his fluke to hit the water very hard. Maybe he is chasing the fish this way. I don’t think it was a reaction to our presence because he did it when we had stopped a few minutes before, were far away and not following him. It’s very interesting to see him catching fish. He always chased them into the rocks where they can’t escape. Later we decided to call him Rocky because of that. We still don’t know if it’s a male, but in case of a female we can still change it to Roxane…

Once as we followed Rocky he seemed to be interested in the boat and took a closer look. I tried to take some photos by holding my small camera into the water when he was close and pressed the button. Unfortuately the photos didn’t turn out good at all. After some time it started raining but we decided to stay with our dolphin. We knew we would get wet even if we would drive home. One more time he hit the water with his fluke just next to the boat then he went for a long dive and we lost him. Maybe he had enough of us or that was his way to say good bye.
