Wow! I’ve seen bioluminescence. I’ve seen dolphins. But I’ve never seen dolphins creating bioluminescent auras! Neato!!

[@wthaid]

Write it on the bucket list! IT'S MAGIC!

[@TheWhereAndWhat]

Well done, The dolphins on the southern coast always glow at night, and even more in the summer... I love Ulladulla!

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

"...radioactive dolphins!" 🤣 Welp... that earned you another subscriber.

[@wthaid]

@@AlfOfAllTrades this bit was suggested by my friend’s 11 year old. Comedy genius now employed by the channel 🤣

[@deancleavesmith]

You're a great story teller, time will allow for more content to captured. Many thanks !

[@martinknope9805]

You were so lucky to see those dolphins..Having sailed the east coast numerous times I've never had the privilege of seeing that...I've seen glowing wash from the yacht but not dolphins...1st time sailor and Utuber your doing great, entertaining and informative...keep it up...I'm hooked

[@wthaid]

@@martinknope9805 thanks Martin and welcome aboard. Captain Dan was telling me that it happens a little bit but I had never heard of it with the Dolphins before, and I still feel so blessed to have seen it three hours into my first ever sail. The bioluminescence happens quite often on the Gippsland Lakes And it’s where I live so if and when I get my own boat, I’ll definitely get out there to try to experience it again and film it a little more comprehensively. Thanks so much for the encouragement, cheers mate.

[@Aussie86Fighter]

5 minutes in and this is the best! Love how you tell a story.

[@wthaid]

Thanks mate, it means a lot... I'm learning as I go and hopefully improving.

[@Aussie86Fighter]

@@wthaid loved it! Watched the series last night. Looking forward to more in the future!

[@wthaid]

@@Aussie86Fighter thanks mate… now I just need a boat! 🤣 Something is cooking though… shhh don’t tell!

[@danzacjones]

Wow those dolphins!

[@wthaid]

One of the great things to see in this beautiful world!

[@jacobsandsdal5435]

Hello from Denmark. Looking forward to follow for more.

[@wthaid]

Hello from Australia! Web hope you're looking after Mary. Thanks and welcome aboard!

[@turipz]

Love it! Subscribed and looking forward to watching more. I too have a serious spine injury - resulting from a training accident in military flight training, where I have titanium fusion of pretty much my entire neck down to my thoracic section (C2 to T1), and more in my lumbar spine (L4 to L5, S-I), but I'm hoping to still be able to do what you're doing - retire (I'm 54) and live and cruise on a sailboat.

[@wthaid]

Geez mate I'm so sorry to hear that, What you have sounds way worse that what I have. I hope it doesn't restrict you. All the very best and thanks for getting on board. And please let me know when you get out there. -Pete

[@turipz]

​@@wthaidThank you, and I'll certainly be sure to do that!

[@user-om6uh6rn9f]

Great video. You have a great way about you to tell a story. Sailing will change your life for the better. It will test you to the max but then give you moments only few people get to experience. Keep sailing and telling the story - you are on the right floating pathway. Good Luck.

[@wthaid]

Thanks so much! It's really what I need atm, and so good to hear it from those that know. very excited for what is to come.

[@factanonverba6169]

You go man, do not look back!

[@wthaid]

@@factanonverba6169 I’m pedalling as hard as I can!! 🤘😁

[@mbritz8427]

I'm under 4 minutes in and hooked! Hello from Fiji!!

[@wthaid]

Thanks so much! Welcome aboard the only sailing channel without a boat!! :D And hope to see you in Fiji one day soon!

[@user-pe6hh4rp6c]

Please keep posting !

[@wthaid]

I definitely will! Welcome aboard!

[@quadcam24v]

We get the bioluminescence here in Adelaide as well! I haven't seen the port river dolphins glow though.

[@wthaid]

😂The glowing ones are the ones from the nuclear plant!

[@SailingNauticHunt]

Do you get the bioluminescence in SA all year round or only at certain times of the year?

[@quadcam24v]

@@SailingNauticHunt I used to live near North Haven and we'd get it in the summer, especially during a midnight swim. No clue about winter, it's way too cold!

[@rogerdinnis3816]

Brilliant first episode but the 'musak' was a tad too overpowering and couldn't really hear your dulcet tones!

[@wthaid]

@@rogerdinnis3816 Thanks Roger, I kinda noticed that… but too late and adjusted it in the next episodes… hopefully. A mate of mine said that the reason the video is getting so many views is because people had to watch it three times to understand what I was saying 🤣🤣 it might be a good strategy! 🤣
