Sunset Dolphin Cruise
/The second activity of the Whooping Crane Festival for us was a Sunset Dolphin Cruise…in the late afternoon of the first day of the festival.
The angle of the sun made the water look bluer that it did earlier in the afternoon. There were plenty of brown pelicans about.
The moon was visible in the clear sky…above shoreline construction cranes.
Cormorants were using structures further above the water than earlier in the day.
I took several pictures of the Aransas Pass Lydia Ann Lighthouse as we passed by.
The high point of the trip was dolphins surfing the bow wave of a big ship coming through the channel. My husband managed to get a picture of three leaping out of the water!
By the end of the cruise the sun was sinking fast into the haze.
We headed to the hotel to rest up…be prepared for the early start of our second day at the Whooping Crane Festival.
