Sunday











Ah, Sunday workday on the Dolphin Cat. A boat I have never worked on before. Got to go searching for the little guys and found a bunch.

What happens when a French couple sends off their kids with us alone to see Dolphins?? You see a dolphin penis, of course!

The pod of dolphins we saw were thrashing about and when one of the kids asked what they were doing, I got to tell them they were mating. It was pretty obvious when one of them jumped out of the water. The kiddos definitely got some good pics.

Great day but the best part was seeing a complete rainbow appear over the island. Key West was framed by a giant bow just as it should be. So happy the water jobs are ramping up with the good weather.

Two Cool Things






Two cool things happened within the last 24 hours.

1). Got to serve a flaming shrimp dish to the guitarist of the B-52's.


My first night at this new place and the job was not to set the B-52 or his friends on fire. He was very nice and one in the group commented with a slight joke, slight tone of concern: "They let the new girl serve fire?"


Never did I think I'd be serving something flaming to a B-52. Shouldn't that be the other way around? It took all my strength not to shout "Love shack, BABY" in Fred Schneider's voice.


2) Swam with a dolphin at Ft. Zach today


Went for my "day off" swim and on entering the water with snorkel; heard some clicking noises. Didn't think too much of it until I stopped to adjust my mask and seagrass blew straight up out of the water scaring the crap out of me. Looks like I had a swimming buddy.
