Dolphins in Real Time

On Saturday I went for a surf with my flatmate, although we ended up at opposite ends of the beach. But we both saw the dolphins that came into the bay, chasing a school of fish. I had been sulking on the beach since I had hit myself in the foot with my surfboard fin (which freaking hurts and left me limping, even though it is just a piece of plastic) and had a calf cramp in the other leg. I decided to give it one last go and hobbled back to the water. I had just paddled out and was sitting up when about fifteen feet in front of me a pod of dolphins leapt out of the water. I think there were about six or so, grey and shiny. A few jumped out of the water, showing off. They continued on down the beach after the fish, fins slicing through the chop.

Moral of the story: Stop sulking on the beach and get back in the water.
