There was a harbor seal in the Anacortes area that liked to leap from the water onto the decks of local kayaks. The largest pod of dolphins I've ever seen was a group of spinners near Honduras in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. There must have been thousands of them as it took several minutes to go past them at 22kts. They're unique in that they spin in the air on every jump (hence the name: spinners). Every one of them, every time, spins. Really something to watch when there are thousands of them.
