^^^ Yup. That's why it was so shocking the 1st time we saw one. Those bad boys are huge.

The dolphins are awesome. We went kayaking with some friends and at one point, we were just floating along & letting the current push us along. A dolphin came right up to the side of the kayak. Stuck his head out and looked at us for a sec. Then he proceeded to jump up out of the water a few times all around us before swimming off. It was one of the coolest things I ever saw.
