Today we finished a rouge tape from 10 May 2007. It was the fastest video log ever – about 46 minutes of video logged in about 4 hours! (Yes, that is FAST).

There have been other observations of dolphins around the world who have lost their entire dorsal fins & they don’t have any trouble balancing or maneuvering through the water.
