Boats, Dolphins, and more

The ferryboat ride back to St. Marys was right on time and most people rode inside. We chose about the same place as before- outside (the rain was over), downstairs toward the front. There was a mother and daughter (early 20’s) standing near us. I was, as always watching the water for dolphins- I saw one and pointed it out to Bob; we watched as it swam in front of the boat and thought it was gone. A couple minutes later the mother and daughter called us to look over the side of the boat. The dolphin was swimming right next to the bow of the boat (riding the wake someone said). That dolphin was soon joined by another and then a third. We watched them swimming along with us. They’d swim, roll on their sides and take turns being closest to the boat and take turns skimming the surface of the water. (My camera was packed away) Then when the boat turned a little the dolphins went to the back of the boat for a while. We could still see other dolphins in the distance for quite a while- one was playing in front of a sailboat . It made a great ride back.
The pilings along the dock in St. Marys were all topped with pelicans. One puffed up nicely for the girl with the camera.

When we got to our car the PeaceMobile was parked just a couple spaces away.

Altogether it was quite a day!!
