Yesterday, I had a glorious swim at "Canoe Beach". The bowlegged women were not in full force and the primary focus was the canoe regatta. Suzanne and Lea were both competing with their respective crews and divisions. Paula, Lea and myself met at the beach around 10:30. The canoe races had been underway for a couple of hours and the first announcement that greeted us was that there were a school of ten dolphins swimming with the competing canoes in the race lane. They could easily have won the gold medal had they not been distracted with their juvenile antics of leaping out of the water and "spinning"! Guess that is what spinner dolphins DO. We entered the water and swam to the left. The water was crystal clear and there were big boulders on the bottom to provide glorious nooks and crannies for a myriad of reef fish. The colors were awesome as the sunlight shone through the clear water------purples, blues, greens, yellows, reds, oranges. A big turtle swam up to check us out early on and glided along for a few yards with us before he swam on his merry way. It was a great swim followed by a fun day at the beach watching the races and "talking story" with friends! This is our LIFE and I appreciate every moment and realize what a blessing it is. Thanks bowlegged women! Lynn
