Porpoise in Motion


There are really only two photos here but they are in a tight sequence. The two porpoises are jumping together but one is just a fraction of a second ahead of the other. There were actually over 25 porpoises in this pod and they came right to us....playing in the boats bow wave, racing along side of us, and diving back and forth under the boat as we moved along. We maintained a speed of about 7 knots and they 'played' with us for about 15 minutes. This is something these guys like to do....they actually seem to look at you when they are alongside and some would even believe they let out a little smile. Posted by Picasa
