  • wouldnt you feel awful if one got caught up in your prop? Dont you think that killing your engine would have been a smarter idea than following them?

  • @Thevinylhouse. We have been in these situations with the dolphins on an almost daily basis...and have never come close to colliding with them or, heaven forbid, injuring them. They LOVE to come to the boat and ride the bow and we couldn't keep them away even if we tried.

  • That may be true for inshore bottlenose dolphin, but for Common Dolphin, their average pod size is about 300 to 500. We seem them in pods as big as 10,000. If you go to our website and look at our sighitngs log, you'll see what I mean. Each species has their own pod characteristics. :)

  • And I forgot, Never encircle a pod of Cetaceans.

  • For the love of all that is good and decent in this world: FOCUS!

  • "So long, and thanks for all the fish"

  • For all the stupid ignorant bloggers on the internet:

    Have you ever seen a boat hit a dolphin or heard of such an occurence?

    ANSWER ME!!!

    You cannot hit these animals. Something stirred them up and they were merely reacting.

    We as land dwellers were fortunate enough to view this spectacle.

    So please keep your ignorance to yourselves and stop displaying as a badge of honor over the the internet. We know you are stupid.

  • really cool!

    

  • cool!
