Nothing fishy about Fungi

SKIPPER Tom Sheehy steered the MV Lady Laura towards Fungi, the world’s best-known, free-living dolphin, in Dingle Harbour.

Seeing nothing, I struggled to believe that the famed Fungi would appear so soon after my boat left port. I assumed it was part of the act, a ‘near-encounter’.

As we bobbed along, I recalled my editor! saying “I want you to track down this dolphin phenomenon. See what all the fuss is about. Surely, he’s not the same animal that first surfaced all those years ago.”
