Dolphin Smile

Last night I had a dream that I was in Kona, Hawaii with a group. The buildings were old Hawaiian style. We were walking to go on a boat to see the dolphins and lo and behold a pod of bottlenose dolphins appeared along the shore, then more dolphins, and then a whale. You can imagine how excited we all were. I remember feeling ecstatic joy!!!

I think the moral of the story is that I don’t have to go out on a boat to see the dolphins  (I prefer to go from shore), and I do not need someone else or a boat captain to take me and my group to be with the dolphins. What a nice May Day present. Happy May Day!!! I hope all your dreams come true. Scott

Aloha dolphin & whale lovers,

I just saw the Dolphins & Whales film in 3D at the IMAX theatre. It was produced by Jean-Michel Cousteau and narrated by Daryl Hannah and is an hour long.

What an amazing film with fantastic close up footage. I felt like I was in the water with the dolphins, orcas, whales and manatees and it brought back memories of swimming with the Hawaiian spinner dolphins.

Sooo… if you or anyone you know is interested on coming on my January 2010 trip and want to get a feel of what it is like to swim with the dolphins, go see this IMAX film.

I am really looking foward to being in Hawaii with fellow dolphin lovers in January 2010.

On April 14, 2009 Somali pirates were about to attack Chinese merchant ships when out of the blue came a pod of thousands of dolphins that swam in between the pirate boats and the merchant ships causing the pirates to turn away and abandon their attack on the Chinese merchant ships. Hopefully this event will bring more worldwide respect and appreciation of the dolphin species. For the complete story and to see photos of this remarkable dolphin blockade search dolphin pirate.

To see a great video of spinner dolphins swimming in the Sea of Cortez go to www.youtube.com and search for dolphin stampede. There is a short (under a minute) and longer (2 1/2 minutes) video.

Seeing this large pod of dolphins leaping through the water was exhilirating and made me very happy. I love to see them express their powerfully vibrant life force energy and aliveness.

I think this is what most humans want… to live a powerfully vibrant life…. and that is often what happens to the people that I take to swim with the dolphins… they come away from the experience feeling more alive and passionate about their lives.

Scientist have discovered over 6,000 rare Irrawaddy dolphins living off the coast of Bangladesh. They are considered an endangered species so it makes me very happy to know that there exists a large and apparently healthy pod. I say Yeah to the well being of the Irrawaddy dolphin species!!!
