Dolphin Cruise Day

We realized pretty quickly that Red Tide was going to be so unpredictable and that we would have to have back up plans besides the pool. Lots of people were wearing surgical masks or bandannas just to breathe. The island was mostly empty since it was the first week of October, but the weather was nice and most places were still open. Monday was a bad day for the beach, so we headed down to the pool to start the day. Fortunately the pool was in the middle of the buildings and so it kept the breeze off of the ocean away from our sensitive lungs.

Preparing for the day with sunscreen.

After the pool we had lunch in the condo and then told the girls that we were going to go on a sunset Dolphin watching cruise. They weren’t totally sure what that meant, but they were excited because I was excited!

The girls LOVED being on the boat and everyone screamed with delight when we saw the first dolphins swimming around the boat. It was fun to go all around the bay and even out into the ocean for a little while. Then we watched the sun go down and they took us back to the dock. It was a really fun time! We had so many amazing photos that I thought I would include the link to our flickr page for anyone who is interested.
