Swimming with Dolphins
13 January 2010
We chased dolphins today. I did it with my brother and my mom. We went out really far to get pictures of the dolphins. At first we saw them by our boat in St. John. We kayaked to where the dolphins were. I jumped in with the dolphins. It was fun taking a break from school!

Right in the middle of spelling class, I heard a gasp. About 150 feet away, we saw dolphins! Instantly, my mom, Leo and I put on our swimsuits, grabbed our masks and hopped in the kayak. We paddled out to where they were, but there was a small chance of swimming with them. The dolphins were outstanding; they were almost black with a strange looking hole on the top of their head. When we got about 3 feet away, I decided to take my chances with trying to swim with them. It was amazing! Two dolphins were right next to me, swimming together. It was unbelievable, but they swam away eventually. We followed them a little farther, but then turned back. After that, I came up with a good name for our kayak - Dolphin Chaser.
