Marina Walk

Curious to find out how mum and newborn were doing, we took a walk around the marina today.  We are glad to report that things in the dolphin nursery are going well, although the third expectant mother is still hanging in there.  I did shoot a quick video to show both swimming around however it was (and still is as I write this) quite blustery today and hence the background noise on the video.
  The baby is about 16 hours old  at the time of the video.

It was feeding time at the manatee enclosure with lettuce on the menu, which I believe is pretty much the same day in day out (makes my meal planning look really exciting....).



Walking back we came across a fishing boat that had just returned from this morning's excursion.  The fish that you see in the picture was being filleted dockside; the fillet from only one side of the fish weighed in at 4kg. 




As a side note, my bruised ego from the bike 'spill' is still hurting although I think it's on the mend.  As I am still struggling to sit down comfortably, needless to say going out on the bike has been out of the question....
