The dolphins escort us back to Musket Cove

I was beginning to get very concerned about not seeing dolphins or whales.

I realized not long ago that I had been falling down concerning a promise I had made to be an ambassador for the dolphins and whales. I had been reminded of that fact by one of my newsletter subscribers and someone else recently.

Sure I have continuing to lead the meditations each fall and spring equinox. And when someone visits one of my websites and joins my newsletter list, they get one of my ebooks where they can read about Lolita, the Orca held captive in Miami.

But I have not be telling about the slaughters in Japan and the other atrocities they have been facing for a very long time. And I knew that had to change.

Just before I left for this journey, I had decided to add conservation groups to my Dolphin Empowerment website and also to give a portion of everything I earn through my websites to organizations making a positive difference for dolphins, whales, and their habitats. But I had not yet made such a contribution.

I threw a clear quartz crystal into the water as we headed back to Musket Cove.

Brian and I were riding in the Pilot House. He was making sure all the systems were operating properly while I enjoyed the scenery, took photos, and simply basked in the glorious moment I found myself in.

I saw a grayish brown back rise out of the water to the left. I pointed it out to Brian who cut the engine. Soon we had 8 dolphins bow riding. I got lots of wonderful photos.

They were spinners, so we got to see a couple of truly spectacular leaps and spins through the air. Five of them hung with us for quite awhile.

I thanked them as they left.

Now that the sun has set on another glorious Fijian day, it's time to create dinner . . .
