Yeah, it was good...

The kayaking was great this morning... it only got better.  The wind stayed light, the sky stayed clear, and the humidity stayed down.  Wild Blue was calling.  We gathered up some lunch, the cat, and shoved off.  Lots of boats and people out and about...

Joan and Izzy spent some time in the cockpit, taking it all in...

We found a relatively quiet place to anchor and kicked back.  Kayakers came by...

Then, this dolphin watch boat following some dolphins, heading right for us...

Right after I shot the image above, the camera batteries died.  I tried using the cell phone camera to photograph the dolphin show...

Yeah, that didn't work so well; after getting a half dozen images of where the dolphins had been a few seconds earlier, I gave up... we sat back and enjoyed the dolphins.

Someone else was having a very bad day - a Coast Guard boat blew by us at full speed; we heard that someone was in the water off the jetties.  A few minutes later, the CG boat came roaring back the other way...

We were anchored was near the Coast Guard facility.  We saw them unload a guy off the boat and into a waiting ambulance.  They took the guy to the nearby helicopter landing pad.  It took nearly a half hour for the helicopter to get there; they transferred him to the copter and took off...

A reminder that even on the best of days, care must be taken around the water.

We exchanged "Hello"s as more kayakers passed nearby.  This guy was fishing while his lady friend tanned...

Quite an afternoon.
