Remarks

Today I've celebrated my birthday. We went out to find the dolphins. It was amazing. Almost at once the dolphins where there, leaping with high jumps out of the water.
Then the group came to the boat for a bowride. It looks like they all came to my birthday party.

Remarks:
From Drake Bay, Osa Peninsula we went out to find the resident group of Pantropical Spotted dolphins. Almost immediatly we say a small group of mostly juveniles and some adult dolphins. The group showed different behaviour of hunting and resting.
We spotted a second group nearly 30 minutes later. This group consist of mostly adults. Both groups belong to the same population.
