As I motored up the west coast I was visited by a pod of
bottle nose dolphins, of course as fate would have it as I grabbed my I phone
to take pictures the memory was full so I spent a few minutes deleting a things,
meanwhile the dolphins are jumping and playing in my bow wave. If you look real hard you can see a dolphin
just off the bow as that was the only parting shot I was able to get. Gerome my
new boat boy is from Cobra services and is also a tour guide and like most grew
up here. I took a tour with him up the
Indian River. The river is a protected marine
park and only allows rowing no motors.
Pirates of the Caribbean one and two had parts of them filmed here. All kinds of birds, fish, crabs and other
wild life depend on the river. The
picture of the strange trees is of a species called the blood tree in which the
sap is red. It was a wonderful trip
along with meeting some new sailors from Germany. I finished off the evening at
Blue Bay restaurant and met an old salt named Vern. Vern has been sailing all
his life and is now 88 years young and is still out here. I snapped a sunset that was just incredible
and bummed a dingy ride back to the Raindancer as I was too lazy to launch my
own.
