I remember one time last year... There had been a family of seven or eight
dolpins cruising up and down the local beaches around Half Moon Bay. I saw
them out a couple of times, and once, several swam directly below me. They
had a couple of young ones, only about 2.5 to 3 feet long. Anyway, one time
they were swimming past me, out about 15 feet from me, and I decided to see
what would happen if I paddled towards them (nothing violent or sudden, just
an easy paddle out towards 'em). Anyway the Lead Dude (Bull?) stopped his
up and down swimming style, and slowed down a bit, spearing me with stink-eye,
and staying on the surface until the rest of the family went by. I wasn't too
surprised, as they did have young with them. Just remember, in the food chain,
killer whales are about the only guys with anything over the dolphins. Later...
