There have been well...I believe it is true, Henri. There have been well documented reports of "pilot" dolphins, particularly during the war, and these babies were certainly playing with us. They were turning on their sides and looking up at us, blowing water out of their spout holes onto us and doing victory rolls. I was so close I could have reached down and stroked them.Lesley Cookmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699182779296799170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431069.post-1160060583984894302006-10-05T08:03:00.000-07:002006-10-05T08:03:00.000-07:00Must say I agree about the dress.

Is it true, or is it a myth, that dolphins have been known to help ship-wrecked sailors towards the shore? They certainly do in one of my favourite novels by Mary Stewart, "This Rough Magic", but that's fiction, of course!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431069.post-1160051904191722982006-10-05T05:38:00.000-07:002006-10-05T05:38:00.000-07:00Thank you all.

Dress one of three bought in various charity shops over the last few years and only worn on hols in order to conceal body from impressionable dolphins...and nubile females of whom I am unreasonably jealous.<BR/><BR/>And Jules, this was the second time this year I'd had the same experience: dolphins playing with and escorting a boat I just happened to be on. People are now asking if I'll go on a boat trip with them.Lesley Cookmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699182779296799170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431069.post-1160049566622591872006-10-05T04:59:00.000-07:002006-10-05T04:59:00.000-07:00whoops meant to say have never seen dolphins in th...whoops meant to say have never seen dolphins in the wild before...Jane Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514534117777707886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35431069.post-1160049535944379902006-10-05T04:58:00.000-07:002006-10-05T04:58:00.000-07:00Lovely pics Lesley,am jealous of the dolphins.
