Saw 2 large porpoise come to our bow from starboard beam, then take position on bow wave. Rode for i min (approx) we turned and slowed, a large group was astern and stayed there for a while, then moved up to ride bow wave. Eventually had a large herd on these species. Made 1 1/4 reels of 7" tape and 1/3 of a reel of PI (reel #8) tape. Good sounds, pictures - had to make time to get to Bermuda, so we secured." SEAOCEAN. Other Behaviors: Clicks, Whistles.
