\"\"<\/p>\n

Lots of preparation going into a boat trip. \u00a0When you cross dangerous channels between islands, you have to be prepared. \u00a0But as much prepared you are, the ocean has a mind of its own. \u00a0Anything can go wrong at anytime so you don’t have to only be prepared, you have to be ready to go with the flow. \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been taking these kids diving since they were little kids. \u00a0Now they are big kids that know the ocean a whole lot more. \u00a0Every trip we take, we all learn about boating, safety, hunting, and each other. \u00a0We have the coolest conversations. \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Now I can sit in the back seat and relax. \u00a0I’m in good hands. \u00a0I let them make decisions, and I go with their flow. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

And their flow is always good. \u00a0I know for sure that we’re going to find fish. \u00a0And a rainbow too. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

For me, the highlight of the trip was watching these dolphins swim around the boat for a long time. \u00a0They kept on making circles around us all morning.\"\"<\/p>\n

Watching them swim is the most peaceful thing. \u00a0It puts your mind at ease and you feel so connected to them. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I start to mimic dolphin noises and they turn around to check me out. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then as they pass by slowly, I look right into their eyes and I can see their happiness. \u00a0It’s like they are coming to say hello and it feels like they are watching over us. \u00a0It just feels so safe. \"\"<\/p>\n

We were stranded here for a while trying to figure out how to fix the boat. \u00a0Joshua and Benji were so calm about the situation. \u00a0We all agreed that this isn’t too bad of a place to stranded for a while. \u00a0Even stranded forever…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
