Last weekend after spending some time at Viera, I headed over to Port Canaveral to get some pelican shots. While alongside the channel leading to the ocean you're able to see the cruise ships at a very close range as they head out to sea. I'd seen them before but never from this close.
There are 3 major cruise lines that depart within minutes of each other: Carnival's Fantasy, Disney's Wonder and Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Sea. They went out to sea in that order. As the 2nd one was sailing by, someone shouted "Dolphins". Here's what I saw:
There's 2 of them
Now three
Now you can see the ship in the shot and see how little distance is between them and the HUGE ship.
They are such incredible creatures to watch. I wonder what sense of enjoyment they get from outswimming the boats as they do? Anyway, it was a neat opportunity to watch some fascinating creatures.
Here's the back of the ship. Sometimes 300mm is just too long.
