Chasing Dolphins

Do you remember how your 5 and 6 year olds played soccer? Someone would kick the ball one direction and everyone on both teams would run after it, all together. Then the ball would go another direction? This morning we went on a dolphin watch. We arose at 5am, were driven on scooters to the beach.   There are spinner dolphins close in at Lovina. You are taken out on a motorized outrigger that you wade about 10ft to meet

. All the outrigger pick up people at different designated places and head out into the water.  The dolphin pods surface, and all boats head that way. They porpoise and swim around for a couple of minutes and then disappear. Another pod will surface a ways away, and everyone heads that way. We get there, the dolphins give us a few seconds of a view, then disappear, and a pod surfaces a ways away, in a totally different direction, and so it goes for at least an hour. Sunrise was beautiful. We did get some great sightings, but thought that the whole thing filmed and put to music would be really funny. And then, there is always that one pushy one, the boat that plows straight through the middle, faster than anyone else. A good time was had by all, maybe mostly by the dolphins. I think that the laugh is on us, as they led us  on a merry chase.
