Dolphin surfing

There are rewards for getting up early.  The pleasure of knowing that you've gotten more done before 9 AM than most people will all day.  The peace of getting things done or just watching the news without the phone ringing.  Starting your day with exercise.

Today:  Watching dolphins cruise the surf only 100 feet off shore.  When I used to body surf a lot, I had some fun times when they literally surfed right next to me (but far more gracefully).

Yo was ecstatic when she spotted them.  I counted 12 individuals, but there may have been up to 18.   By far the largest pod I've ever seen up close.   All looked pretty mature, no juveniles that I could see.

All I can tell you is that our day got off to a spectacular start.  I love California.
