I was lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins whilst sailing with my dad in Portugal. We sailed through a flock of gannets feeding on a large school of fish. An amazing sight in itself, until we were joined shortly afterwards by the dolphins who must have been attacking the fish from below. We had the pleasure of the dolphins' company for at least an hour. Superb!
