SDA221 Let's Talk Dolphins: Sidetracked by Mama & Baby

A mama and baby dolphin show up in Kidd's Cove, and suddenly provisioning is forgotten. They circle the boat, leap, and chat away for hours, pulling us into their world.

In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel we get sidetracked from provisioning in Kidd's Cove by a mama and baby dolphin. They keep us playing in the bay with them for hours, circling the boat, leaping, and chatting away the whole time. This is their story.

⚠️ The lightning strike changed everything on Dark Angel, and we’re still rebuilding piece by piece. If you’d like to support the recovery, our GoFundMe is here:
