| 01/10/12 | dolphins say, keep your trash |
| HAPPY NEW YEAR! You bet. What unbelievable great weather. Today is the first nasty day of the year. Strong NW winds, cold,drizzly and over cast. The good news, it's turning sunny and 68 degrees. The winds will stay, but as a little girl we met would say with enthusiasm "It's A Day!" For the most part the trips have been great. However, we've had a few slow trips where the dolphins were busy shopping for dinner. No time for us humans. A week ago we were out in the blue, dolphins were not busy and very friendly. There were about 25 of them. We had two trips that day, this was the first. They were playing, mating, throwing fish and messing with us. It doesn't get any better. You would think in 30 years would have seen it all, but not so. One of the dolphins came up throwing what appeared to be a mangled fish of sorts. It kept throwing it toward the boat. I thought perhaps it was an octopus. Everyone was trying to figure out what it was. The last toss was at the boat. It turned out to be a plastic bag. Like, "keep your trash we have no need of it". The trip was nearing the end when all the dolphins started heading toward the ship channel. A Hugh ship was coming from the port . It was moving fast, perfect for a bow ride. Dolphins took advantage of the ride. We ran with it for a ways. What a blast. They were jumping at times 10 feet into the the air. We were all ecstatic. The bad news was there weren't many left for the second trip. The ship stole most all the dolphins and the few that stayed went to shopping. Timing is everything. We are looking forward to more great weather this coming week. If you plan on coming call ahead. Soon we'll be only able to run one trip a day as the dolphins change their patterns. | |
