Travelling back to Penzance from Isle of Scilly the sky was blue and the sea was flat, so much so that a large beaker of water left on framework did not have a ripple. Suddenly between the Scillies and Wolf Rock we saw a dolphin. Then there were about 10 leaping out of the water. We were able to observe them for several minutes until they fell well behind.
On our outward journey on the 22nd Aug I also saw what I thought was a dolphin, this time close to the ship and only one. Compared to the dolphins this seemed much larger but with a relatively small fin. I read that a Minke Whale had been seen a few days earlier and I now suspect this was also a Minke.
