Story time. A couple years ago, we were sailing off the US east coast around South Carolina, and as you do in that situation, we were trailing a fishing line behind the boat in hopes of catching something. Suddenly, we were surrounded by dolphins giving us a show, jumping in the waves, playing around the bow, all that jazz. The kids were delighted, we were taking pictures and videos and generally enjoying ourselves when we noticed some splashing a little distance behind the boat. We pulled up the fishing line only to find that the lure and tackle were missing. Looks like the sneaky fuckers were distracting us while they stole our dinner!

Do you think they knew it was your fish and not just fish that were in the ocean? Not sure they can make that connection.
If they didn’t know they wouldn’t have said “so long and thanks for all the fish”
If they didn’t understand the connection between the fish and the fishers then they wouldn’t have sent over a distraction.
That’s my point, that it was not meant as a distraction. They were just having fun like they are know to do and eating fish like they are known to do.
