You may want to sail faster to keep their attention:smile

These Dolphins didn't start "looking upward " until I went forward because as I said I believe they saw me moving up there. Then they would come up and look directly at me it seemed.

I've seen Dolphins many times on the lower Chesapeake but this was the first time they hung out for a while around the boat.....

BTW, I can only sail fast when the wind is up......which is still slow for them

First video taken mostly from the cockpit.

Great video! At the end of July, we spotted several at the entrance to Queenstown Creek in the Chester River. My wife was so excited, she was squealing, and at that point I lost her as crew. For the next hour, I just sailed back and forth watching her watch the dolphins. Some came close enough that we could see they were looking at us, but they never came as close as in your video.
