Dolphins Join Us For Some Fun

While underway, dolphins will often join us, approaching from a distance to enjoy a little ride in our bow wave. We will sit on the crossbeam and watch them while they swim, dive, and jump out of the water. And then, just as quickly as they appeared, they peel off like a squadron of jet fighters, and are gone.
Comments
Vessel Name: Tara Vana
Vessel Make/Model: Nautitech 435 catamaran
Hailing Port: Laguna Beach, CA
Crew: Rick & Ami Bergstrom
About: With little previous sailing experience, we decided to sell everything we owned, buy a cruising catamaran, and explore the world.
Extra: Retired at 40, we've been living aboard Tara Vana in the Caribbean since Sept. 2001. It has been a rich and varied experience. New people. New cultures. Lots of dance and music. And spectacular scenery.
