Tony Pirouet and his two pals had gone to pick up a new boat from Burnt Island before sailing<\/a> back to North Queensferry on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n The trio, who are all in their early 50s, stopped off at St David’s Bay for a spot of fishing<\/a> – with little success – and then headed to anchor west of the Forth Bridge.<\/p>\n As reported by Edinburgh Live<\/a>, the lucky trio then noticed a dolphin playing with the rope on the anchor.<\/p>\n “We were at anchor for a couple of hours just off Hawes Pier waiting for high tides to take the boat into North Queensferry boat club,” Tony said.<\/p>\n “We were there for little more than 10 minutes and he appeared at the stern of the boat.<\/p>\n “He just kept playing around the boat, and I can tell you, it was magical.<\/p>\n “It felt like the dolphin was trying to make us all smile, rolling on his side to look at us, and he certainly did.”<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
