The moon is full tonight but we waited too late to watch its rise so we will go down to the beach tomorrow instead.
A week ago Thursday we went out paddling, on a day that was supposed to be calm. Without a destination, we paddled directly into the waves for an hour, and were on the point of turning around and running for shore when we saw our local dolphins, moving from north to south in front of us, right where we would have been if we hadn’t stopped for a drink and a snack. They seemed businesslike and not playful, and were soon well away toward Danzante. But then ahead and to our right, maybe toward Los Cardones on Isla Carmen, we saw a bigger commotion, with no apparent direction to it. Others reported seeing whales in our area that day, but we can only daydream.
