This was fun...
We were sailing along today....when suddenly my depth probe starts beeping at the 3.5 meter alarm I have it set....scraed all of us...

It was the dolphins....they rode with us for an hour...they get under the boat and the depth changes rwadings..heheheheh

Fred got his whistle, and started whistling..they would get really curious..was amazing to interact with them...we slowed down (hence the rolled genoa)...

They would go away..then after a while, Fred would whistle and they would return..amazing..never seen them do this...



PS I knnow for you guys in the US its pretty common to see dolphins..here they are allways in the same spots, and up until 1992 they were almost extinct..

Seeing them is amazing, and each year I see more of them..

enjoy (sorry crappy sound no editing time).

Crappy editing doesn't matter if you got DOLPHINS in the video. Glad they could freak you out a bit...

How did Luis, Fred and Giulietta handle the boat...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

We get porpoises, mostly up here in the PNW, and they are decidedly not friendly.

The ones in So. Cal. are much more fun.

Cut off from the land that bore us, betrayed by the land we find, where the brightest have gone before us and the dullest remain behind, .......but stand to your glasses, steady,.......tis all we have left to prize, raise a cup to the dead already, hurrah for the next that dies

If you eat the dolphins in Gui's video, a lot of people will be really pissed at you and you'll probably end up getting hurt...since dolpins, the mammals, are probably almost as intelligent as humans...

Nice video.
You slowed down - but you are still going pretty fast. Oh, how I envy you for your fast boat.
