Playing Race The Ship 36164
13-JAN-2009

Playing 'Race The Ship' 36164

or, 'Catch Me If You Can' ;-)

Dolphin in the bow wave of a ship. Apparently it gives them a free ride
since it pushes them ahead of the ship. This is just so cool to watch.

Photographed along the Gulf coast from Port Aransas, Texas, USA.
