Simone Thom happened to be looking out to sea when the pod appeared and quickly began taking a video. She estimates there were about 200 dolphins bounding through the waves together.
Simone Thom has seen her share of orcas while working on B.C. Ferries, but one of her best wildlife experiences involved a large pod of dolphins swimming alongside the Salish Orca between Comox and Powell River.
“It was pretty cool, something I’ve always wanted to see,” she said. “We see whales almost daily but that was pretty exhilarating to see those dolphins. She first saw the dolphins in front of the ferry and then suddenly they were at the side of the vessel, and that’s when she started recording.Thom later made a Facebook post with the video, taken about 11 a.m. Tuesday, and went to bed.
“It’s been neat to see the response and just the joy that it brought to so many other people,” she said.
