Jerry McArthur recounts the moment he was followed by a pod of dolphins while recording himself cruising along B.C.’s Howe Sound on his electric hydrofoil.
Jerry McArthur is a B.C.-based entrepreneur who has dedicated his career to exploring the ocean.
A recent encounter in Howe Sound, north of Vancouver, reminds him of why.
McArthur was out on his electric hydrofoil — a propeller-driven ocean glider that he designs and sells — when he was suddenly surrounded by dolphins.
Fortunately, he was filming the experience using a 360-degree camera.
“This is insane,” he yelled as dozens of the marine mammals started swimming alongside him, some jumping out of the water. “I don’t want to hit one of them.”
