Strait of Hormuz

Day 125: Chasing dolphins in Oman

When we decided to stop by the UAE, I did not expect we would spend our last day chasing dolphins in Oman. But there we were, on the Straight of Hormuz running back and forth from one side of the boat to another watching for dolphins to surface, and more importantly, looking for the babies we were told were with them! We didn’t get to see the baby dolphins up close, but we were able to see all of the dolphin families. At one sighting, we counted 12 swimming together. Amazing. We also stopped off to jump in and snorkel. Kate and I were babies and stayed on board, not because of the fish, but because of the cold water! The water was so clear that we could see lots of the fish without necessarily needing to get in the water. (At least that’s what I told myself.)
