I guess this will get moved to the Pub
but I'm posting it here because I don't get to the pub much (not really my cup of tea)....
Fun video but also a reminder that sailing with dogs could be risky. What do you do when your sea dog takes up with a five ton pal?

That was cool but I wonder what would happen to the dog if he jumped in. I would be terrified for my dogs expecially for one who I know would attack it.

Woah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure my dog would be in the water too.

Oh shoot. I need to update my info (thought I already had). I moved to Alabama last November. Right near Pirate's Cove actually.
I still have a house for sale in Apex though. As soon as it finally sells we're buying either an X or a M. Still on the fence.

I read the info on the youtube video and it turns out the orca named "Luna" was a very friendly Orca and would swim up to boats and liked for people to pet him and rub his tongue. He was separated from his pod when he was young and for some reason, viewed boats as friends. Unfortunately, he was killed by a tug boat a couple of years ago.
Very interesting story. A movie was made about him.
