In Search of Flipper


My coworker's husband invited me on a fishing expedition last weekend. This trip held a lot of promise because he had made the same one a month ago and mentioned seeing "hundreds" of dolphins next to the boat for a good portion of the afternoon.

How can one resist seeing dolphin upon dolphin flipping through the sparkling blue waters?? Well not me. That definitely grabbed my interest more than the fishing part.

Fast forward to the day --

I lasted about 2 hours on the boat, and I was so miserable with seasickness the entire time that the guys offered to drop me back on shore. They were so kind about it.

And, the closest I got to seeing Flipper was a table in a restaurant where we booked the trip. I guess I'll just have to take my chances with SeaWorld from now on...
