Spotted Dolphins??
17 July 2011 | South Lake in Albemarle Sound
Does anyone know the name of the greyish colored dolphins that I've referred to as Leopard Dolphins? That's not their true name, but I believe they may be called Spotted. Would love to know about them. I researched it this am but it's hard to know for sure. They surrounded us all morning before we raised the anchor, and we continued to see them on our way out of South Lake. We got chased below deck last night by deer flies who appeared just as exuberant as the Mosquitos at Lukens cemetery. But it was an average (at best) sunset so we didn't mind missing it. It is warm and still as we head up approximately 35 miles to a marina called Coinjock which is known for their prime rib. Since we aren't vegetarians (yet), haven't spent all our money and have been advised not to miss it, we'll give it a try, the alternative is to travel for about 70 miles to the next dog-accessible anchorage.
