I remember sailing/motoring across through the Bass Straight oil rigs towards Gabo a few years ago in absolute glassy seas with a slight swell and being escorted by hundreds of dolphins frollicking around the boat.
Some where around home I have some of it on video. Wished I could transfer it to the computer. I probably could but the learning curve would make my brain explode. ::)

I was hand feeding and patting a couple of dolphins up off bribie the other week .......got some photo's on my mobile , yet to get them downloaded ...was a pretty cool experience , they came right up to the boat and played around for an hour whilst i was whiting fishing .

Plenty of whales round too ....had 4 ( 2 adults / 2 calfs ) swimming around us off Bribie on Sunday too ...a couple of full breacjes and tail flaps ...always a humbling experience ...don't think i can ever get bored of it

;D Hello when I asked where were you I didn't mean if you were in the cabin or for that matter if you were sitting on the bog!
I meant what hemisphere, ocean, sea or part of this broad country this happened in.
Sorry I thought it was a simple question!
