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!

In less than a fortnight both the multihull classes had completed the extended race across the Atlantic. The Ultims had been down to the equator before heading back up to the finish in Martinique while the Ocean Fifties had turned west at Cape Verde. Two classes and on the face of it two different types of competition where one seemed to deliver a dominant walk in the park, the other a full on transatlantic fist fight with boats barely out of sight of each other. Yet behind the scenes both were intense, relentless races that took teams to the edge.

After one week of meeting each other in Fiji, we went on our first road trip up to an amazing beach on the gold coast, where we hung out with the locals, borrowed a guitar and sang for them, ate lunch with them, and tested out the beautiful turquoise waters🤍 This is where we had our very first "real talk" about a relationship... #March25-2018 #shorts
