Slightly NE of North Rock. We headed out to look for them around the Moselle Bank. We found a sailing catermaran named Dolphin Quest East of the North end of the Moselle Bank headed West. They had two ropes in the water with people strung out behind the boat and two or three Dolphin near the bow. We looked around further North then spotted a group of five or more fishing to the North East of North Rock. We hung out with them for at least 30 minutes. They would often approach our bow. When we decided to make one last pass and leave two took up position on opposite sides of the bow at about 8 mph.Where did you find them ?
North ??
Wow where were those water conditions while we were there it looks like a lake now.Here is a photo from a video captured of the dolphins we spotted today riding our bow it was an AMAZING experience....

Bimini Blue Water refilled their tanks on Saturday so they are not expecting to run out. Bimini Sands says they will have fuel by Friday but that may be Island time. We filled up at Blue Water this morning.No go go juice until Tuesday according to someone on THT.com. Hope you can get fuel @Bruce
The wind died down and gave a few days of excellent water. The down side was an increase in temperature. We needed to either be in the water or have the boat moving. The current forecast shows that we will have a couple of stormy days then it clears up again on Thursday. The trip back from the Blue Water fuel dock this morning was almost as bad as coming out of Port Everglades.Wow where were those water conditions while we were there it looks like a lake now.
I have hours of footage from all days. I even have a 19 minute clip where I didn't realize the gopro was still on that includes about 10 minutes of footage around one of the boats that almost sank as we waited for the coast gaurd. I hope to edit some of it this weekend and post it. I only have clips from about 3/4 of the crossing as the go pro died and I didn't have the second battery with me on the ski as I didn't expect a 5 hour crossing.I talk to @Bruce aboit this briefly. I was hoping to share the raw footages I captured on my GoPro. I was also hoping to get some from others. I was unable to unpack my GoPro for the crossing and would love some footage.
I'm hoping in the near future we can set up a Dropbox or FTP on a server to share.
Don't we all....Would love to get some
