Dolphins Alongside
It's a beautiful morning to go sailing, Suzanne began the telling. It' s
Dad's vacation and we're going to Snug Harbor.
We load Snow White-that's the name of our sailboat, you know-with
suitcases and boxes of food. We take our special toys and lots of other
things for a long stay. When we are all ready, we cast off.
When we're far enough away from the slip, Dad hoists the sail. The
breeze fills the sail and we head out to sea.
Roger and I sit with Dad at the helm to steer and Mother goes below to
make sandwiches. We all wear life jackets. That just makes good sense,
like wearing seat belts when you're riding in a car.
The sea is gentle and we're moving right along. Roger is looking out to
sea as Dad and I talk.
Suddenly Roger shouts and points.
'Look. Dad. Suzanne. Look.'
'Where?' I ask. 'What do you see?'
'There, there,' Roger shouts, and points again. 'Do you see them?'
'See what?' I'm excited, but I don't know what to look for. 'Tell me what
you're pointing at, Roger.'
'Dolphins. They're jumping out of the water and diving back in again.
