Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Some of you know I work 80 miles offshore on a oil production platform. These dolphin came up today and where having a blast. There may be some curse words the guys out here use colorful words.

very cool.... Interesting to see them chasing the fish, you don't normally see them from that angle..

Yeah the video is from about 100 feet off the water.

That first one looks a lot more like a shark than a dolphin...

The small tuna, or whatever it is, at the the 38-40 second mark doesn't seem concerned, must be a bit too big for the dolphins, or not tasty enough.

The first one was a shark, they like hanging around the rigs. Both my B.I.L. and my mate's mum used to work on the North Rankin, they had a drill once where they simulated a M.O.B. by dropping a clothed dummy from the platform into the water then sending a crew down to rescue it... well that was the plan, but within about thirty seconds of it hitting the water the resident Tiger sharks had destroyed it!!!

Yeah there where a lot of sharks just before the dolphins showed up. But they didn't hang around once all the dolphin got there.

Pretty sure that was a young shark at 38 seconds.

Everytime I read your posts now helomech Im going to be hearing that accent

Next time i make a video i will have my chipmonk voice on just for you charlie

Man they can get some speed up. Such an impressive animal.

LMAO, what accent?

I didn't know how to edit the sound, or I would have put music over it.

That hillbilly sound you guys have...

If you heard me talking you would prob say I sound like crocodile dundee or something hahaha

The only time I hear a voice like yours is when I watch swamp rats on t.v.




Dont worry mate, I love it. hahahah

Most of us like the way you guys talk also. We have had a few pilots flying for us that came from Australia. One was this woman that was HOT. I grew up in south Louisiana, about a hour southwest of New Orleans. I left not long after huricanne Katrina.

That was MY thought as well!! lol

They like it in the UK as well... I had a coupla mates that spent a years working holiday there and the first pub they went into they got offered jobs... turns out the Pommie shielas love the Aussie blokes and it brings them into the pub, which in turn brings in the Pommie blokes, which in turn makes for happy publicans. They spent the entire twelve months working a number of pubs (in between frequent short trips to Amsterdam for some reason???)... they reckon they scored every night they were in the UK... but then again, every bloke would say that wouldn't they!
