In the morning, it seemed like we might have to cancel our nature tour, but the Storm went around us to the east and to the north…

When it did finally come in our direction, we took refuge in Cortez fishing Village enjoying the Swordfish Grill listening to live music and eating fresh seafood under the tiki.

It was a great day on the water

The Dolphins were especially rambunctious and did some of the highest jumps and most acrobatic moves behind the boat. I’ve seen in a long time.

Videos to follow of the flying dolphins !

Our beautiful coastline

If you’re diving around nearshore structure, you will almost always see castnets that were thrown by fisherman and then got caught on the rocks

Most of the time I try to bring them up to help clean up underwater but sometimes with a strong current and limited vis it’s easy to get tangled up in your gear so it’s a delicate operation

There’s been a few times when I had to use my industrial scissors to cut out all the lines wrapped around my vest and tank and regulator

Dolphins hanging around the boat down by Venice inlet

Energetic and intelligent creatures!

This is looking down from the no-name bridge which connects big pine key to no name key.

It’s one of my favorite places to take an evening walk or an early morning stroll

They always seems to be a bunch of aquatic activity

This was a few years ago, looking down off the bridge at a big beautiful loggerhead turtle

If there are 1000 longer had eggs only one egg out of 1000 makes it to full adulthood.

Think about that next time, you see one of these gentle amazing creatures in the Gulf or the Atlantic

They are survivors. The one egg out of 1000 that made it this far.!💪🙂
