Heads or tails...

Nothing to do with flipping a coin.  Lots of both out on the boat today.

This morning, Joan asked, "How would you like to go on a boat ride with me today?"

"You're inviting me along?" I asked.

"Sure.  I know this captain guy."

"I thought maybe you could drive, decide where we'll go, and I'll sit back and relax."

It didn't play out that way (I had to drive).  Still, lovely company on the boat today.

It was mostly cloudy, with the "chance" of precip.  A small chance, so we took rain jackets - a guarantee we won't need them.  Yesterday was about the flat water and calm conditions; today, I was looking for some dolphins!

Heading out...

It didn't take long to see our marine mammal friends...

We had them to ourselves for a while, then the University of Texas RGV boat came by...

Lots of grade school age kids onboard.  They passed close by to check out the dolphins we were watching...

Get the "heads or tails" in the title?  Lots of dolphin faces and tails today.

Crew photos...

Oh, and dolphins...

The game warden passed by slowly...

Pretty sure he was looking to see if we had any fishing gear onboard.  Nope.  These guys do...

Back to the dolphins...

Thriller, the fast excursion boat, came up the ship channel a bit, paused for a moment, then took off again...

And, dolphins...

This was interesting...

It wasn't a missed shot - this dolphin was "blowing bubbles" just under the surface.

Looking to the west, we could see this coming our way...

Time to head for home.  No, we didn't get rained on.  Another nice day out there - a couple dolphin babies along with the adults.  Always a treat.
