A nice, dark, fluffy, enormous, menacing, incredible mega-atmospheric formation with the looking of a gigantic cloud appeared in front of us. Out of the blue, we got a refreshing shower that showed our guests that we are in the rainy season. To fill out the program, the sun appeared shortly after, during our Zodiac ride, and "mola mola" (sunfish) sightings were greatly enjoyed by a number of us.

The early morning in Roca Redonda started clear and full of light. There was not one, but several groups of dolphins jumping around the ship. There were so many of them, that some of our guests were concerned about the closeness of these beautiful cetaceans. As an answer, some dolphins would swim belly up in front of us, sometimes staring straight into our eyes, or just flipping their bodies out of the water. And suddenly, they disappeared.
