Dolphins, Surfing, Dolphins, Surfing...
We must be boring the hell out of you guys but it really is all we do. So here is another story about dolphins and surfing. You're lucky I'm telling this one. I'll make it quick. Punch in right arm.
Guess what? We arrived in Yamba, and I went for a surf, it was a beautiful hot clear day, hot enough to just surf in my shorts. This time i wasn't on my own, and the surf was a clean , hollow & peeling perfectly to the right and left. After about 1 hour, I notice the dorsal fins again. I'm ready for it this time, last nights dinner stays where it's supposed to.
I quick glance at the guys next to me confirms that everything is cool and to just enjoy having them around. I catch a few more waves, and the doplins ride in the waves together with us jumping out the back when we get too close.
Looking back at the beach I notice Sam isn't watching, so I surf in to tell her the dolphins are out. Her face lights up, and with a twinkle in one eye, and a empty glass of champagne in her hand she bounces off back to the van to grab her wetsuit and boogie board. 10 minutes later and she is kicking as hard as possible to join me about out back of the waves. She arrives drenched and a bit bedraggled but still beaming. I was mistaken to think she a come for a surf, she wants me and her to swim in amoungst the dolphins!!! WHAT! I exclaim, "No way, they are totally wild, and who knows how they will react to someone swimming in amoungst them", but the champagne is working and she convinces me to tow her over to them for a kiss and a cuddle. Although i was pretty nervous it was a wicked experience, at one point we were surrounded by about 8, jumping up and around each other, spraying us with water. We stopped at actually touching them, as I noticed they had a baby and may get a bit protective. Sam had a wicked time, and half an hour later she surfed her way back to the beach for a tan, and a champagne top up.
Catch you later,
Chris

That's my girl! See if you can touch one next time :-)
that's incredible. i would just love to swim with dolphins. closest we've been to them was on the dive boat in eygpt when we had a couple playing in the waves next to the boat and swimming along side. they're beautiful!
How fantastic! and a wonderfully descriptive story. It's easy to tell which one of my children got the 'A' in English Lit. !!!
