Nancys Dolphins

I met Nancy at the Bay. A petite business woman, she owns a popular resturant here on the island of Oahu. She is a no nonsense, tell it like it is woman and I like her alot. She likes the dolphins but doesnt spend hours waiting for them like yours truly.

The pod of dolphins I call "The Big Boys" were in the Bay today. Quiet and BIG in size these male spinners are NOT social butterflies ! Nancy has watched me MANY times try to get a close up look at these guys. I never have.. that is until today.

I look over at Nancy while we were in the water and I said, "Nancy call those dolphins over here. Tell them your going on a trip and want to see them before you leave for 2 weeks." Well ,you can imagine my delight when she opened her mouth and out came this voice, you know the little high pitch voice we use when we talk to our pets, "HERE,HERE " she said. I then threw my head back in glee when those dolphins, THE BIG BOYS came right to us. !

Returning Home

Image
It is time for me to return to the North Shore full time. It is at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu, that I sit and wait for the tell tale ripples of water that signal the DOLPINS have arrived! The water calming down from the massive winter waves that just a few weeks ago pounded this side of the island, i return to her shores full time with glee! I will be subjected to the teasing of the regulars at the Bay who jokingly say, "Wheres the dolphins, Lani?" I always say in my mind, "There are far worse places I would need to wait!" LOLOL. This weekend the Bay gave a sneak performance of how magnificent her waters will be! Clear beautiful water, clean beautiful sand, the sun creating stain glass window like patterns on the sandy sea floor. And if that isn't enough the days of spring and summer on the North shore of Oahu, end with sunsets that are just magic!

They swam by me at mach speed swimming into the bay.. they turned around and passed me again checking out my orange swimsuit. I dont think they like it...LOL... It was good to see them.. they played tag with me for awhile, back and forth, back and forth. Finally exhausted i hauled myself out of the water and watched as they came close to shore , if i would of stayed in the water i would of got some major pics. I was just too tired,they are much much better swimmers than i am... lol...till next time.... I am an island gal.......
