Dolphins play with Weymouth lifeboat crew

A lifeboat crew responding to reports of a vessel on fire in Dorset has been surprised by a small pod of playful dolphins.

The Weymouth RNLI all-weather and inshore lifeboats were launched on Saturday evening after reports of a vessel on fire at Ringstead Bay near Osmington.

Two water bikes and their riders were located and towed back to Weymouth Harbour, but while on the scene a small pod of dolphins popped up and played around the lifeboats.
