Dolphin Tales: Auld Lang Syne
By Capt. Cathy Eagle - | Dec 28, 2020
In September 2020, I wrote an article about Fungie, the Dingle Dolphin, who made his home in the harbor of Dingle, Ireland, in 1983. He was a longtime resident of the harbor and delighted people for nearly 40 years by riding in the wakes of tour boats, spinning, jumping, and delighting tourists and locals alike. The lone dolphin has not been seen since Oct. 15, and the residents of Dingle are heartbroken.
Fungi was as much a part of the town as the quirky pubs, the cliffs, and the unpredictable weather. He never disappeared for more than a few hours at a time. In a year that has already taken so much from so many people, the disappearance of Fungie is a heartfelt blow to the town of Dingle. He made the town famous and the thousands of tourists who took Fungie boat trips each year were an important part of the local economy.
