01 The experience
Open water,
engine idling.
Dolphin watching in Estepona is not a floating zoo. It is going out to find them on their own terms, unhurried, with nobody else on board.
A few minutes out of the marina, the coast falls away and the water changes colour. Out there is where they tend to show up. We cruise slowly, eyes on the horizon, watching for a fin, a blow or a leap.
When they appear, we ease off and let them call the shots. Some days they pass straight by; other days they stay to ride the bow wave, close enough to hear them breathe. Nobody knows which day it will be, and that is half the thrill.
On a clear day the Rock of Gibraltar rises to the west and, when the air is really sharp, the coast of Morocco too. And it is not only dolphins: now and then you may spot turtles, flying fish or tuna. Whatever turns up, you have it to yourselves.
