This was the first video I ever tried to film. I needed a distraction from what was ahead of me. 3 years ago, with a keel and hull flexing issue back in Scotland. I almost start tearing up remembering this terrible time. The yard was quite far from home, so I had to sleep in the car at the carpark, eat ready meals from the supermarket and shower wherever. This little issue bankrupted me! Literally!! But I leave that for another time. Still, it seems appropriate for a throw-back-thursday :) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9W4L77A-Rw/

Have you ever wondered why dolphins swim alongside boats? Here’s a few reasons: # 1: Curiosity and playful nature: Dolphins are renowned for their playful nature, and it appears that a significant portion of their behaviors is driven by sheer enjoyment. From darting through the water at remarkable speeds to engaging in acrobatic flips and jumps, these intelligent marine mammals often display behaviors that seem to be driven by the simple pleasure of the experience and interacting with us! #2: Speed and Efficiency: Dolphins often swim alongside large ships because the waves generated by these vessels enable them to swim faster. This occurs because the bow (front) of the ship pushes the water aside as the boat moves forward, creating a wave, or wake, in the water that dolphins can utilize to increase their swimming speed with minimal additional effort. #3 Food: Dolphins often see a boat full of people as an excellent opportunity for food. A fishing vessel with packed nets is also an excellent food source for a hungry dolphin. For hundreds of years, these mammals have been swimming beside ships, and it seems that they must have learned from experience that where there are humans, there is also a good chance of food. Also, smaller fish can get swept up by the boat waves which is the perfect little snack for dolphins! Book with Fury Catamarans for an opportunity to see these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat! . . . #furycozumel #furycatamarans #fury #cozumel #catamaran #sail #sailing #snorkeling #beach #beachday #elcielo #cruise #cruisevacation #caribbean #caribbeanvacation #vacation #travel #travelgram #lovetocruise #cruiseaddict #royalcaribbean #carnivalcruise #celebritycruise #norwegiancruise #msccruise #princesscruises #dolphins
