Dolphins off Dartmouth

[dukes4monny]

Took my 15 year old daughter out for a sail today......she's getting quite keen and is a reasonable helm.
Got about 2 miles off Dartmouth and all of a sudden there was a pod of Dolphins on our bow.........she had never seen this before.........her face lit up and for once she was speechless..........she even forgot to get her cameraphone to take a piccy

An excellent day.

Ah! Dolphins never fail to entice! I'm sure your daughter will never forget today's experience. Strange coincidence-a couple of hours ago I was reading an old log of ours which described a spectacular encounter with many dolphins during a night passage off the West coast Of Wales.

We were out 2 weeks ago heading for Brixham (from Dartmouth) and were followed by about 5 or 6 dolphins for about 10 minutes .......... first time out for a nephew of SHMBO and he was well chuffed ! On our way back we were then given a distant display by the Red Arrows over Salcombe way ......... needless to say, he thinks sailing is well cool

We had dolphins with us for about 2-3 minutes on Thursday, about 10 miles east of Dartmouth after leaving there for Poole. I have never seen dolphins leap so high out of the water!! They played around the bow for a couple of minutes and then headed for the yacht about half a mile behind.

As I posted earlier in a different thread - we had dolphins in Carrick Roads on Saturday.

Stayed with us/them for about 30 mins.

Lifts your spirits no end, especially as it was misty and drizzling at the time!

Ionian 2 weeks ago. We had a big pod join us, 6 broke off and played in the bow wave for about 10 minutes. This fella was last to leave, taking off ahead. Pretty much made the holiday for the family!

My daughter took this photo, pretty good I think
