Fun! Looks like they may have been using the boat as motivation to exercise JudyM Apr 2021 #4

as we were approaching our final port, Ensenada, Mexico, we saw a similar pod of dolphins. Just amazing.

It’s hard to say if they were this big or not, but the biggest one I ever saw looked pretty similar in size.

It is an amazing site. Also huge schools of flying fish around a boat sailing out of the water, gliding for many yards and diving back in...hundreds of them.

Oh, I live about 15 miles inland and 20 miles north from Dana Point, straight shot to the nearest beach, Huntington, is about 15 miles. I’ve lived here in the OC for 65 years.
