Spectacular sunrise this first morning of spring. The splash of clouds and sunshine created what I think of as a "circus sky", from a picture in the "Little Golden Books" compendium of circus stories. A circus sky is like pink lemonade with cloudy froth in it. Today the sky was pink and grey before dawn, and bright orange later on. I wore my white jacket outside this morning, because of the chill.
We sailed on
Dolphin Landings' Fantasea at 9:30. We hadn't expected a sailboat so the morning was a thrilling surprise. It was great fun to sail on Boca Ciega Bay, where we now know many of the buildings and all the major landmarks. Our own condo building was very recognizable in the distance. I picked out some acceptable "camps" ("cottage", in the Temiscaming lexicon) for Beatrice McGowan, our visitor last week.
Dolphin Landings promises dolphins so I wondered if Captain Clinton was getting nervous, after an hour into the cruise and no dolphin sightings. He said that he didn't worry too much unless the passenger list included children, who tend to expect brochure promises to be fulfilled. Almost immediatlely, two pairs of fins appeared. We soon saw several dolphins, including a baby born this season. Good enough to match Dolphin Landings' promises, if not passenger expectations.
Bob and I were happy to be sailing, with or without dolphins. It was a wonderul, exciting morning.
