I mentioned in another thread that I had just finished an ocean sailboat race. We went from Pensacola, FL to Isla Mueres, MX. Straight across the Gulf of Mexico. Official distance of 555 NM.
About 200 miles south of Pensacola, we ran into a pod of dolphins. Or maybe they ran into us. I don't know how many there were, but it seemed to be in the hundreds. The video doesn't do it justice, as the frame is small, and you can't see the rest of the pod.
For reference, we are moving at about 8 kts:
