Annual LMBND migration.

 

We caught the beginning of the annual migration of the Lake Michigan Bottle Nosed Dolphin (LMBND) run from the warm Florida waters to their summer home in Lake Michigan. There was a pod of 4 dolphins cruising along with us for several miles while we were in the "sunburn canal". We called this stretch of water that because it is protected from the wind, has glass smooth water, and we had blue skies with a blazing sun. Brian, Jeff, and I sat on the bow for over an hour. Now we have farmers tans, raccoon faces, and some very pink skin.

 

  Whatever It Takes is docked in Panama City tonight. We arrived around 3:00 in 20+ MPH winds. 

1/2 way through the "sunburn canal" and Jeff is showing signs of pinkitis. After removing the glasses he definitely had that "raccoon" look.

These guys were having to much fun.
