Dolphin Watching


One of the great experiences of ocean sailing is dolphin watching. They aren't much, but these are my two best dolphin pictures. They followed us many times, swimming in our wake. The dolphin under our grill was a gray dolphin, but as we went further north along the Florida coast, we saw more and more Atlantic Spotted Dolphins, like the one swimming just underwater beside our boat. Unfortunately, the camera has to have a much quicker shutter speed to catch all the leaping and surfacing we witnessed. In addition to the dolphin shots, I have 47 pictures of water, taken moments after the dolphin went under. The most interesting dolphin event was in the harbor at St. Augustine where a small pod of dolphins fished for their dinner, throwing 12 to 18 inch fish into the air and catching them. Anyone out there know why they were doing that?
