Dolphins when you least expect them

Now this will require a little bit of imagination/visualisation on the part of the reader.

Contained within the picture to the left are Dolphins. Can you see them? That's right the observant will have noticed that the dolphins are under the water and as such not really visible! We spent 2 sodding days sitting on a beach and then while were are on a boat returning from Freemantle to Perth 7 of the "apparently" most intelligent marine creatures decide that rather than frolic with the tourist in the crystal clear waters of Bunbury they would rather go for a swim through Freemantle freight Harbour!

Obviously if you are not expecting to see Dolphins the surprise is very pleasant. Unfortunately trying to snap some dolphins moving in the opposite direction and only surfacing for a second every few minutes is not the most photographically friendly task.

Pleasant boat trips are very nice. Boat trips when you sit outside at 5pm at night with Cyclone Glenda whipping up a storm all over Western Australia can be......blustery. The water wasn't rough it was just that we were going so quickly in to the wind that the combined effect was enough to involuntarily remove all headwear and prevent you opening your eyes to see where you were going. If you think my hair suffered in Hong Kong you can imagine what it looked like after 30 minutes into the wind. To say I looked like Worzel Gummidge would be doing him an injustice. And to think we pushed families out the way so we could get on first and sit out the front of the boat.
