Title – Spinner Dolphins
Date – September 2002
Location - Christmas Island - Kiribati
I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t love Dolphins. They epitomise intelligence, fun and happiness and sometimes with all the myths that surround them, we paint them as being almost human in some of their emotions. No where is this impression more potent than in the spinner dolphin, like those found here in the waters around Christmas Island in the South Pacific.
The Spinner Dolphin is named for its habit of jumping out of the water and spinning several times in the air with a cheekiness that would make even flipper smile. It seems sometimes that no matter how many you have seen and no matter how familiar you are with the sight of them, they can still break a smile out on even the hardest of faces every time they pop their beaks out of the water. Excitement is a normal reaction to a sighting and excitement an emotion in them that they seem capable of transferring on to us.
At Beyond The Blue we know how exciting the prospect of travel can be, we still get ‘that feeling’ every time we have the opportunity to travel or have to research countries and destinations for presentation on our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshops. We believe that the excitement is something to be harnessed and held on to throughout your trip and for this reason we are not into scare mongering; we know that the majority of travel experiences are positive and without incident. But we also understand that a little preparation can go a long way and know that our workshop allows you to enjoy the excitement rather then fear it.
