Riding the Storm

Jody and her family have arrived in the Bahamas. Here they'll get the chance to visit Little Bahama Bank - a dolphin study group run by friends of Craig and Gina. Jody can't wait to see some Atlantic spotted dolphins - even go swimming with them if she can. But a party of rowdy teenagers have docked near Dolphin Dreamer, and Brittany is intent on befriending them - much to everyone's disapproval! But then Jody hears the rumours about a sunken treasure ship nearby that has never been found. Whoever does find the long-lost Elvira will find centuries-old treasure and a small fortune! Jody wonders whether she and the rest of the crew of Dolphin Dreamer could be the ones to succeed. The trouble is, a certain obnoxious gang are wondering the very same thing . . .

Under the Stars

Still in the Bahamas, Dolphin Dreamer has been diverted off course by a phone call - inviting the crew to help at the births of three baby dolphins. Jody is delighted - this is the experience of a lifetime for her! Arriving at Dolphin Haven, Jody and her family, along with Brittany, meet Dan and Alicia Summers, whose three expectant dolphin mums - Bella, Misty and Evie - are nearly ready to give birth. But there are complications ahead - Evie has been pregnant several times before, and her calves have never lived. This is Evie's last chance to finally become a mum, and everyone is worried that something will go wrong again. Jody's not sure she can bear to see Evie losing her baby - but she's going to be there for her, whatever happens . . .
