Joint was jumping!

It's Leslie's birthday today and we have been celebrating all this past week. Yesterday we went whale watching again off Oceanside. This might be our thirtieth time out on the boat with Oceanside Adventures, we have stopped counting. Spent a lot of birthdays and anniversaries out there.

We both love being out on the water.

We were lucky enough to be on the older boat, our preference.

We went out about six miles when we ran into the common dolphin pod, I think about six hundred of them.

They were boiling pretty well, paying us little attention, just having a good time on their own. We cruised with them for a long while, watched some incredible jumps.

No whales yesterday but boy did we run into some dolphins! I have been in a lot of huge dolphin pods and boils but I have never seen one where so many dolphins were rocketing ten feet out of the water!

Everywhere you looked a common dolphin was propelling itself into space.

It was totally insane.

I took way too many shots, don't have time to process them all but I am sure that I can find a few gems.

We both feel a strong spiritual connection with our cetacean brethren.

What an epic day!

The captain even got on the microphone and wished Leslie a happy birthday! 

Thank you Oceanside Adventures. 

Happy birthday, sweetheart! 💜
