Dolphins With Us - ICW to Fort Myers


There is nothing more fun on the whole planet than to be a dolphin in the wake of a Nordic Tug, swimming along with your friends at 10 miles per hour. Between six and eight dolphins, including one with a damaged fin and a baby that stayed close to her mother, swam with us in the starboard wake of our boat. We got to watch them for fifteen minutes (while Brian also kept his eye on the channel in front of us). When we finally had to slow down to go through a narrow passage with several other boats, they left. We are in awe and appreciation for being chosen for that brief time. We felt as though we had been blessed by their presence and by their simple delight in just being alive in the water. We didn’t even take pictures this time; it was so special just to watch.
