A pod of perhaps 100 of Pacific White Sided Dolphins was observed a short distance from the harbour in Powell River. After the boat was stopped the dolphins changed course towards the boat, and swam past it or under it. In the background you can hear the Texada Island ferry approaching and then slowing on its approach to the ferry terminal.

That sure is cool! I hope I can be as lucky as you to see them all like that when I go out on the boat there!

Thank you for your comments anavidhunter. As is evident from my commentary in the footage it was an exciting experience to be surrounded by the dolphins. I've been living on the coast for 20+ years, run a boat in ocean for most of them, and that was the only time I've experienced that. Friends have told me of similar experiences but weren't prepared with a video camera as I was, so I consider myself fortunate.
