Well, we sailed out the Sabine river and out into the Gulf for the first
time this labor day weekend. Offshore we had pods of dolphins heading for us
from all directions. It was so cool. You could see them in the distance
heading toward us from all sides. They would swim along side for a while and
swim off as other pods were heading over to check us out. Since there are no
other sailboats that sail out of here (only rairly) maybe they picked us up
on sonar and were just curious, because we were moving along but no motor
sound. Just guessing.
Anyway, here is the short video:

Nice vid. When I was off the coast of California, we were surrounded
at one point with dozens of them... they were leaping out of the water
around the boat... a blast to watch.
