Default Dolphin Playing in the Wake of Our Grand Banks Trawler

Nice video!


Thanks, I'll probably have a few more videos if we cruise up Pine
Island Sound this winter. They are prolific there and we frequently
get 5 or 6 at a time chasing the boat.

They usually run along the bow of the boat off to one side.


Seems to depend on the boat and on the dolphin. On sailboats I more
often see them in the bow wave, also with the smaller Atlantic
dolphins. Around here with power boats and a big wake they seem to
prefer the quarter wave for some reason.
