YES!

I saw two big fins heading straight for me as soon as I got out into the Gulf of Mexico this afternoon.

Today was only the second day I've been out in my "Tiger Shark" kayak since I've been here at our house in Florida, and both times I've paddled from our pier to the open waters of the Gulf. I nervously keep searching for alligators while dragging myself along narrow passages through the swamp, but so far haven't seen any while in my tippy kayak. Whew.

But two dolphins swam by me then circled back to swim by even closer before continuing along the shore. How great.
