Borrowed this from the Live Sail Die website. Oh to have this happen when sailing a dinghy! After pushing your heart back down out of your throat you’d have a tale to tell! Is it just me or is that dolphin checking out the sail trim on that Opti? They caption it:
You don’t get this on the golf course! Or the rugby field, or the cricket pitch! That’s right, dolphins are only found jumping around in the water, and usually where sailing is taking place. Check out this amazing capture by Gauthier Thomas – GT Sailing, who was out coaching Optimist sailors when all of a sudden, a dolphin wanted in on the action!
