A few years ago, I had a strange encounter with
dolphins (probably, since there are no more whales around Brittany), at night. One of them kept banging in the
rudder, so hard that I had to hold the tiller with both hands, to prevent the shock from tacking the
boat. At the same time, another one placed itself on our windward side and blowed spray on us. I don't know if it was an attack or just playing with us.
A similar incident occured this week, but in daylight: I heard a yachtsman calling Corsen MRCC on
VHF and explaining that
dolphins were following his
boat and banging into it, even after he gybed to change course.
