Dolphins




We never tire of watching dolphins cavorting around the boat. As we were leaving the south end of the channel behind Marco, I commented that we had seen a jumping dolphin in this location last year. Right on cue, he emerged from the depths (3' deep water here). I'm posting three photos from my phone, and will post a video the next time I find wifi. When I was sitting on the transom, I could have easily touched him. He sprayed me when he blew out his blow hole. From the smell of his breath I think he had mullet for lunch.
The gulf is littered with dead fish. We're anchored not far from Everglades City and there dead fish floating everywhere. Mostly catfish.
