Waikiki Dolphin Whisper?

378


got up early, went down to Mayuki to clean her up. took my foil just in case and good thing because Bowls was empty!!! foiled 3 waves at a time and in 30 minutes, i felt totally satisfied.

then started to work. went under and cleaned the bottom, then i could hear noises! dolphin noises!!! so i come back up the Mayuki, and right as i looked where the anchor was, i seen 30 dolphins surround me. omg!

so i pull up the anchor and glide along as the dolphins were leading the way. so gently and so freely…

it was weird because usually they follow me, but today, i was following them.

then they stopped in 6′ deep water. i turned off the engines, and we played for 30 minutes.

i jumped in to swim with them and they thought i was one of them. so peaceful as nobody was around. it was so amazing! and i got back in before 9am with a full day of satisfaction.

then had to fix my electronics. so started off by taking out my GPS. i was alone so nobody could help me catch it on the other side when i pushed it out.

so before i pushed it out, i secured a towel so it will catch the GPS. good thing because if this didn’t work, it would have dropped and broke for sure. that would have sucked a $1,000!!!

fixed it, resealed it, and put it back in perfectly. saved a few hundred bucks by doing it myself.

then surfed with Hattori-san this evening. amazing day of pure satisfaction!!! tomorrow who knows what i’ll see???
