Deep Water, Low Bridges, Heavy Heart.

It seems hard to believe that almost two weeks have flown by, but they have.  My 3 Hour Tour ended up being almost 9 days in duration, with many hours of calm interspersed with minutes (and hours in some cases) of large electrical storm activity with nowhere to hide.    

The worst thing though, had nothing to do with the weather, Gulf Stream, or Cape Hatteras (damn that Cape Hatteras).  It is that Tracy and I were unable to talk for days at a time.  That may not sound like much, and some may even think “well – I’d *love* to not have to talk to <insert name here> for days at a time…”, but I have to tell you – it was hard to have that last conversation while watching the bars on my phone go from 5 to 3 to 1 to an “X” in rapid succession.   It was equally as uplifting to power on the phone when coming into shore and to get at least some indication that it was able to hear a tower.

I won’t ramble on too much, but did want to share a video Dolphins! I took somewhere about 150 miles or so off the coast of Delaware (or maybe New Jersey – I forget).   These dolphins took what appeared to be great pleasure in using our bow pressure wave to play.  They stayed as long as we were watching, and as soon as I put my camera down and moved back to the cockpit, they left as suddenly as they arrived.
