We woke up to a sun shiny day and are hoping it reaches the forecasted temp of 75 degrees, beings that we want to take the Dolphin Sightseeing Tour today. I didn’t get all the cabinets oiled, but did get a good start. I guess I’d forgotten how many cabinets there are in such a small space. The ones that are finished really look good.
Chris got here about 9 a.m. and started removing the propane tank. I guess I won’t be using the cook stove for preparing breakfast this morning; and, for the next 24 hours, any hot water we want will have to come from the microwave. What did we do before we had all these modern conveniences?
Well, here it is 6:00 p.m. and we just made it back to the coach. Today was a very fulfilling day. We left here a little after 1:00 to go check out the Dolphin Tour. It was from 2:00 – 3:30 and we saw bunches of dolphins. It was great being out on the water. While we were out on the boat a large tanker went right by us and the Dolphins were riding the wave in front of the tanker. It was great to see them jumping out of the water and not having to go in circles. What fun! While we were on the Dolphin tour, we ran into an elderly couple from McPherson Ks. The lady (who was in a wheelchair) had not brought a jacket so JW took his jean jacket off and let her use it to stay warm. She was very appreciative.
After seeing the dolphins we went to Beaches for an early dinner, then on to Barnacle Bills to go out on the Pier. We saw four guys out surfing, a young boy and his grandpa fishing (and they were actually catching fish), and a very curious pelican. JW videoed a guy cleaning and filleting a fish and then feeding the carcass to the pelican. On the way back to the coach we drove by to see how things were going with the propane tank. It was all done and does it ever look good. You’d think it was brand new. So all in all, we have had a very satisfying day.
We enjoyed the Dolphin Sightseeing Tour so much that we have decided we will go out again, this time we go with a different company so we can compare. It is supposed to be in the 70’s the rest of the time we are here. We may get some rain next week, but think we can work the tour around the rainy days. One week from today we head back north. We’ve just about done everything we had on our “To Do” and “Want To Do” lists. JW says we still need (want) to go for a dip in the Gulf. We’ll (Brrr) see about that.
