Had a couple surface near dad and I when we were paddling across to Bruny once. I was really excited but Dad told them to bugger off (had a much more tippy kayak that I did). Then saw a giant pod - the most I have ever seen - off Bruny a few years ago. Maybe the same Mad Max gang that terrorized you.
You need to get over your fishophobia. Anyone else would be thrilled to see so many dolphins.
And I don't want some smartarse telling me dolphins aren't fish.
