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!

Methana is a peninsula in the Saronic Gulf and is famous for it’s volcano and Thermal springs. We visited both and we loved also the charming village of Vathi were a small harbor felt very welcoming to us. Next to the fishing boats, we were the only sailing boat on the quay and after making it through the small entrance, we had a quiet stay in this beautiful scenery. Enjoy the drone flight we took over the harbor with the stunning mountains in the background.

This video actually was my first event YT short shot in Miyazaki two years ago. But as today is Marine Day in Japan, a national holiday, and I have just arrived in Tokyo for work, I am reposting this to celebrate the ocean!

Five boats rush into the turn — one clips another’s rudder and spins out of control! A near disaster caught from the safety boat. Real voices, real spray, real chaos. ⚓🔥 #TurningPointTrouble #SailingCrash #YachtRace #OceanAction #BoatFails #SailingShorts #SeaAdventure #RudderHit #RealSailing #WaveChaos
