Do Dolphins sleep?

 April 28th?  St. Augustine Municipal Marina Mooring

That was the big question yesterday.  That is perhaps one of the best things about this trip is we have seen SO many dolphins.  They usually come in groups of 2-3 and play during happy hour.  We would sit at anchor mostly and see them.  It is the coolest thing.  I may end up being a dolphin aficionado.  That would be something cool to add to my resume 😊. 

Our trip down to St. Augustine was good at only a few hours since we did not have a mooring available last night but anchored instead.  I love being at anchor for the record.  Anyway, Ron and I took a few lumps on this trip.  He slipped on the steps and badly bruised his knee and I ripped the skin off my thumb picking up the mooring.  Oh well – it just makes the beer taste good and I won’t think about it till I shower tomorrow.

For the record, dolphins sleep with one eye open and only ½ of their brain sleeps at a time called unihemispheric sleep.  I know so much useless information there is just no room for important stuff.

Last anchorage before St Augustine

Sunsets never get old.

About Ron C

Hi, I'm Sally and this is my husband, Ron. I’ve been doing marketing for the last 30 years for tech companies and Ron is a biomedical engineer. Basically, he knows what he is doing and well, I don't. However, the yin and yang of our relationship is total bliss. We decided after 10 years of marriage, the joy of suburbia, and years of travelling, that this was for us. So, we saved, retired, and this is our story. We’ve taken trips to Costa Rica and love it. Nowhere on earth can you see that many masonry animal statues and not a pothole crew in site. Beautiful. Then there was Jamaica where the night before we left, I broke my big toe and was not able to go into the water. Instead, we experienced the most amazing singing bartender while drinking "Shit on the Grass." No lie. Then there was British Virgin Islands where we chartered a boat three times. Twice with just us and the final time with our 4 daughters. Man, there is no better way to hear your kids complain than in a space that small. That was some quality family time there. Now we are empty nesters, we have purchased a Leppard Catamaran and you are invited to come along for the ride. Should be a total hoot.
