Last weeks pod

Dolphin Love 

Cuddle

2:30 p.m.
It´s wind still and very hot today. The sea is flat like a mirror. The kayak glides effortlessly over the surface. The tide is slowly coming in. Dolphins never appear during low tide.

So here the come from the north this time. It is a group of six adults, male and females. I paddle alongside them for 50 meters, the dolphins look at me from below, and then I glide in. The group stops for me, takes me in. The one with the scars on his tail is here and the big one with the spotted belly. Then I see the big one with the square jaw. These are the adults from last weeks pod. We know each other....

We swim side by side down the bay. It´s a beautiful harmonious swim that lasts about 15 minutes.

I had abandoned the kayak when I went into the water. It is now but a little orange dot far away.
With a jerk I pull myself away from my soul mates and swim slowly back to the kayak.

I can´t help but wonder if there are any sharks around.
