Hanging out with a pod of dolphins this morning.
I was kayaking along when a dolphin surfaced right in front of me. Soon I was encircled with a pod of about ten. They were busy feasting on fish below, and gulls were flying above to share in their leavings. A Police helicopter came by and circled a few times. At one point three dolphins jumped out of the back of a wave in a show of synchronized leaping, After a time, the pod split up, and I followed along with a group of 3-4 of them. They eventually turned and headed out to sea where we were rejoined by more of them. Then the pod split again, some were leaping close to the Venice pier, and others headed back towards the Marina jetty. There was a single sea lion keeping company with the pod. Such a wonderful morning, thank you.
