Steve, Dolphins, eh?.... Kind of makes my usual "wildlife encounters" look rather pathetic by comparison. (-: Usually the most exciting encounter is with a little muskrat swimming along beside me. In one particular creek, the beaver sometimes swim up alongside but then give the water a big WHAP! with their tails...almost sounds like a gunshot and gets Maggie (my collie) all worked up. Then there are the mammoth-sized carp that hang out around a nearby marina...great schools of them moving slowly beneath my canoe. Last year, I had a particularly exciting close-up sighting of a big pike rising out of the water to grab a frog on a lilypad a few feet from my paddle. Nothing too exotic here, but then I'm happy just seeing a few Eastern Painted Turtles sunning themselves on half-submerged logs... or maybe a Kingfisher plummeting down into the river to grab a fish.....an Osprey is even more exciting... The ice is gone off of the rivers. With any luck I'll be out paddling within the week. BTW, did you go to the local kayak races that you had mentioned? Later, Croc
