    Florida 2012 Gulf Coast / 3

    Gasparilla Island, was swimming here and saw a dorsal fin about 5 foot behind the daughter so got out pretty damn quickly...watching them from the shore there were about 5 fins and curved so more than likely an unscheduled free "swim with dolphins" excursion :-)

    Most likely dolphins as you say. We see them every year off Captiva, and when we rent a boat ( which we're doing again tomorrow) they have a habit of following you around. I can't convince my daughter they're not sharks and every time we see them she has a minor fit, assuming it's Jaws about to attack the boat. We have seen a few big turtles as well, which is much ore soothing.

    Excellent photos, keep 'em coming

    In photo 2 of this set, is that not Blackpool Tower in the background? You didn't get on the wrong plane did you?

    Wherever, looks amazing. Enjoy yourselves
    Dave.

    Occam's Razor says dolphins eating the numerous fish swimming around us, some who jumped into me at points...might hire a boat in the next couple of weeks so hopefully we'll see some more.

    And I think it was a range light but with good visibility it could have been the Blackpool Tower :-)
