Did I mention we were in for a treat? As we prepared to continue on our journey away from this dolphin pod, the captain suggested we move to the back of the boat and keep an eye on the dolphins.
He explained that the Atlantic Bottle Nose Dolphin is a special ocean inhabitant. They do not just survive, they have a life. In fact, they have personalities and love to play. Occasionally, they are in the mood to follow the boat and jump through the boat's wake. To our amazement, this was such an occasion.
They followed us for about ten minutes, jumping over and over again. Then one of them decided to show off and start jumping sideways through the wake. (I think he was the teenager in the pod.)
