DOLPHINS WITH US

We left Fort Myers to come to Port of the Islands Marina, south of Naples on Saturday. We travelled in the Gulf of Mexico and enjoyed many dolphin encounters.


There were two to six of them not following us, but leading us at the bow. They love the swell there and it seems they are competing against each other. I am not zoomed in, they are that close.


As we are out in the open waters we come along this......


I counted 60 small one man (or really, one child) sailcrafts. Look how far from shore they are! There were about 8 "supervisors" in speed boats taking care of them and reining them back in. There were obstacle courses for them to maneuver through and yes some looked like they were going to tip over. Yikes! We stayed far away, they didn't need unnecessary waves from us.

Standing on starboard looking out back,
beautiful weather and calm seas in the Gulf of Mexico

Today is the 11th day of the 11th month, on the 11th hour I remembered! Remembrance Day ceremonies went on in Canada today. Lest We Forget.
