I was sailing a dinghy in Falmouth Harbour on Monday the 9th June when we spotted a pod of about 8 dolphins. At first it was a lovely event and many people were taking photographs - at one point they swam under our boat. Unfortunately it became clear that they were determined to swim ashore. The harbour master asked the bigger boats to block the entrance to the key where we were launching the boats and the beach but they persisted. They did not appear distressed.

One of the coastguards mentioned that Icelandic peoples used to rely on this phenomenon for food hundereds of years ago. It would be interesting to know how many such events have been recorded in history.

am i the only one who believe’s the stranding of the dolphins is due to some other reason
other than what has been broadcast in the media! i have clear facts that this is all due to
climate change and is linked to the earth-quake in greece and could also be linked
to the fire at the london power-station (solar flairs) if you want to know more
then do some research into it! for the last month nasa and world governments
have been on high alert due to the megastorms that have been hitting earth’s
atmosephere and altering earths magnetic poles significantly in one
instance magnetic north was actually situated west this in turn is causing
havoc among naughtical terms for all involved for example: dolphins airplanes
ships etc, the high volume of earth-quakes is due to the earths magnetic field
being altered due to these solar storms ! do some research into it yourself
type in google search( solar storms ), and type in ( magnetic north)
see for yourself, the governments dont want you to know because
they are planning to launch sulfate particles into the stratophere
to block sun light and flairs, this has been classified as top
secret because they are unsure of what will actually happen
to our climate once this has been done, my knowledge
on this matter is that it could damage the ozone layer
and maybe even stop it from working altogether,
for example the world is in a carefully created
balance and has history has proven to us in
the past everything has a negative and a
positive value in nature, for example
if you dont use your car for a month
or so chances are the battery will
go flat and it wont work, so say
they block out solar flairs from the sun
for 10 or so years and then discover
the ozone has stopped working what then
you cant exactly jump start it can you
so my advise is leave what is unknown
alone one other thing before finishing the
polar caps as everyone knows are melting
well the north pole the ice is nearly depleeted
and this was our only deffence against the solar
flairs actually this is the major problematic cause
and it all started with global warming, so this is
mother nature’s way of punishing us.

this is a tragedy that many dolphins died and people are saying they killed themselves.

The idea of mass suicide by dolphins is frankly absurd and a cowardly way for us to avoid admitting that we probably are directly responsible for this tragedy. Shame on us.
