DOLPHINS! They come with the salt water and are soooo…COOL! Three of them surfed along in our boat wake for about half and hour today as we passed through one of the bays on the ICW (InterCoastal Waterway). With our boat’s wake they surf alongside the side of the boat where the bow wake spreads out in a V, instead of up at the bow like I have seen them do with other boats. That’s much better because you can just step outside on the side walkway and watch them in comfort instead of having to lean out over the bow. They were absolutely just playing with the wave. They can surf the bow wave from the underside of the wave like surfers would surf it from the top, so they’re going at exactly our boat speed (about 10 knots today) without even swimming. It’s just effortless. Then they jump out of the water every 10 or 15 seconds…..I just couldn’t get a picture of one in the air.

We’re in Destin, FL tonight. We’ll probably be here for 2 or 3 days because of the predicted high winds and waves, but then again, they predicted that for today before, but then moved it back to Sunday evening, so we cruised on to Destin today.

The marina has a loaner car and we went to the grocery store to get food and discovered a good bakery. That means I’ll definitely get up early tomorrow to get donuts and a Sunday paper so we can have our usual Sunday breakfast.
