Ramsay Arm, again

Monday, August 19. We went back to Ramsay Arm and parked next to our favorite waterfall. We stayed a couple of lovely days, got water and oysters and caught a couple of rock cod.

“Our” waterfall in Ramsay Arm

I made a most awesome seafood chowder with rock cod, oysters, mussels, prawns, seaweed, sea asparagus, onions and celery. Life is good.

As we were leaving, I spotted some strange waves on the far shoreline. Like maybe a very large boat wake breaking against rocks on shore, except there were no boats anywhere. I asked Alan to check it out with the binoculars. It turned out to be a pod of about 50 dolphins, herding smaller fish and having a feeding frenzy. It was amazing to see multiple dolphins swimming and surfacing in concert. They really kicked up the surface. I’ve never seen so many dolphins. We tried to get a little closer but they were moving fast. As usual, we got a few not so great pictures.
