That is awesome. I am not sure if I would be scared or amazed. And I thought my dolphin videos were cool....:(
 
Waiting for the day I can be out in my boat and see Orca's, Dolphins, Sharks, Whales, Manatee's or something swimming along side.

If you ever boat down here, you will see dolphins 99% of the time in the ICW.

I have the same thoughts few years back, I keep going to Florida every few months and I keep saying wish I could live next to the ocean until last year when covid dropped the mortgage rate so low I finally packed up and moved to Florida.
 
I would really like to move down there, but the Admiral wants to stay put for now. Once her youngest is out of high school, which is 4 years, I will revisit the conversation.

Again, same boat here. Have a 10yr old and a 3yr old to finish school in a stable and supportive location. Once they're raised we're out like a trout. At this point, we're thinking Panhandle area, although future vacation to the Keys I suspect will change our mind.
 
Awesome creatures. That passage is really close to where I grew up (San Juan islands in NW Washington) We had a 19 or 21 foot sail boat we were out on the water around those islands a LOT when I was younger (like 10 or 11). Saw some Ocra's swmming by here and there, but never ever that close. That is cool!!!!!
