The Dolphin




Coming out of the Mobile Ship Canal and entering Mobile Bay, I had just asked Ron what the water temperature was; wondering whether we were far enough south to begin picking up dolphin along the way. No sooner had I asked, off our starboard bow, in the distance, we saw them break the surface. They shortly caught up to us and ran in our wake for about 4 1/2 miles. By far, this was the most exhilarating part of the trip so far. They were so close if I would have leaned over I'd have touched them. You could hear them clear their air holes as they broke the surface over and over again. Talk about a feeling a awe! To be this close to one of God's best creations, I was overwhelmed! and so Joyous the fishermen laughed!
