Almost


I saw dolphins splashing offshore this morning as I entered the ocean for my swim. Boats had gathered to observe them, so I swam out deep to the boats. The current was running strong and I never got closer than a hundred yards away. I could see the dolphins leaping just over there... Just out of reach... To anyone who thinks that swimmers could possibly harass dolphins, I say "Pish posh, what nonsense!" Dolphins and whales may choose to approach me, but only if they are interested. With a single flick of their tail they easily shoot away.

Then I went to visit Bruce the shark. The fish in the area darted away when I dove down which must have startled Bruce. All I saw was a tail disappearing in a cloud of sand. Almost...

  2. agree with you Don !!! NOONE who swims from shore can EVER be accused of 'harassing a dolphin" a person who says so has never tried it!! by the time you get 100 yards offshore they can be in Tahiti !! LOL .
