After our swim with the wild dolphins in Queen Charlotte Sound, a couple of the more social dolphins accompanied us and rode the wake for half of our trip back to the docks.

Yep, jfb. I took it. Took a lot of tries, too. It was the only frame that came out this clear and with the dolphin in sight.
