These were taken with my camera phone at 1500ft above the Gulf of Mexico on a Weather Trainer. The Black part of the aircraft is the external tanks.

We sat out at a place called Clark's Marina in Port O'Connor TX and watched the dolphins play in the ICWW the whole time.

Some guys were cleaning fish and the brown pelicans came to feed and the dolphins were coming up and pulling the brown pelican by the legs. They were so much fun to watch.

These guys are so used to human interaction. It's just a natural thing around the marina. Port O'Connor is just inside Matagorda Island, which is a barrier island off the coast of Texas with Pass Cavallo right there to the Gulf!

Come to Texas and you can swim with them anytime.

They'll come right up and eat the fish out of your hand.
