Bottlenose Dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, near Adventure Bay, Tasmania. We had a pod of dolphins playing and leaping in the bow of the Esperanza. Magic!
This was photo one of a sequence of four - all taken within 2 seconds!
Read the Greenpeace Esperanza weblog, about our mission to the Southern Ocean to stop the Japanese whaling fleet from killing whales.

Clearly the trip is not over yet, would you be willing to add any return trip photos you like best toEperanza Journal and would love to hear what thoughts you have all had on your way home. You know I get at least 100 emails a day from organizations desperate for me to contribute, your journal has made the reasons so personal and clear.... I bet it has made a lot of Voices people feel more connected, thanks.
