Frisky...

The dolphins. While at anchor today, we had them playing all around the boat. It was a nice show that went on for a couple hours...


We had a couple dolphin watch excursion boats that motored near us to take in the show. It sounds like we're in for a change in weather, so people were out and about on the water. The next few days will be warm and windy, and then another cold front coming our way next week.

Joan made us a nice lunch what at anchor... a meal with our dolphin show. We played some games at the dinette; got a relaxing nap in (tough schedule), then after seeing that oil prices had spiked today, decided to head to the fuel dock.

No space at the fuel dock. We waited our turn while a 100+ foot crew boat, a 70 excursion boat, and a 35' dolphin watch boat filled the space. When the dolphin watch boat pulled away, we pulled in between the two big guys. It was interesting to watch the crew boat pull straight sideways from the dock... and leave Wild Blue in one heck of a current! Good thing we were tied securely. The big guys finished fueling before we did, so we only had to dodge one shrimpboat pulling up to the dock as we were pulling away. At best range speed, this tank should last us a while.

Beautiful day in the Tropical Tip: high around 70ยบ, some sun and clouds, and light south wind.
