Blue Dolphin Cruise - Lori

Yesterday, Wednesday, we decided to try a dolphin cruise. We haven't had any luck spotting them in the bay in front of our condo, and we have all been really anxious to see them in the wild. We found a really good deal for a two hour cruise and MeMaw & Paw Paw treated us to the adventure.

Captain Dennis briefed us about our trip and we were off... A few minutes after we left the port, we saw a couple of dophins off the left side of the boat. From that time on, there were a set of about 6 dolphins ( including a baby or two) that followed our boat the entire 2 hours. It was soo cool! They just bobbed up and down near the boat as we watched in awe. The kids and the grown ups loved it! The kids (Ellie wouldn't have anything to do with it) and Cathy & I got to drive the boat and get a picture with the captain.

The owner of the boat lives on Wolf Bay which is right next to our bay, and she confirmed that we probably did see a seal the other day. She saw one in her bay a couple days ago as well!

Above is a short clip of the dolphins as they swim by our boat. It was hard to get decent video or clips, but we managed to get a little footage.

(FYI... at this minute it is storming and the thunder over the bay is extreme and majestic - Not like an Indiana thunderstorm)
