Hourglass Dolphins On a cold rainy day in the Scotia Sea with the wind howling at 40 mph and seas of 14-16 feet. It was play time for these hourglass dolphins as they swam with and around the ship. The cold, the rain and the wind made it difficult to stay on deck more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time. While on deck I wrapped my arms around the railing in order to remain steady and safe while shooting.
