Another Rewarding Moment
Many years ago While fishing in San Girogiro{South of jacinco on the pacific} I was able to bring two medium size dolphins to my hand and fed them
with Bait. I was staning in Waist High Water at the mouth of the Estary. Was able to do that several,days in a Row.
I thought at the time they must have escaped from Sea World, they were so Friendly.

SURFING
With bigger boats, that put out a good wake, it's a lot of fun to watch the dolfins surf in it for miles. Have seen that numerous times here in
Loreto.

Port and Starboard are steering and approach terms, aren't they?

Your right mike, it was used on steam ship tickets for the very wealthy. I think it had to do with the sun exposure for your suite.

?Port Out, Starboard Home,? the cooler, and thus more expensive, side of ships traveling between England and India in the mid-19th century. The
acronym POSH was supposedly stamped on the tickets of first-class passengers traveling on that side of ships owned by the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company

Those third class passengers really had it rough. It helps if you're dyslexic.

The origin of term comes from old boating practices. Before boats had rudders on their centerline, boats were steered by use of a specialized oar.
This oar was held by a sailor located towards the stern (back) of the boat. However, like most of the rest of society, there were many more
right-handed sailors than left-handed sailors. This meant that the right-handed sailors holding the steering oar (which had been broadened to provide
better control) used to stand on the right side of the boat. The word starboard is a corruption of steering board.
Port, is derived from the practice of sailors mooring on the left side (the Portboard side) as to prevent the steering boards from being crushed.
Because the words portboard and starboard sounded too similar to be distingued under windy sailing conditions, portboard was shortened to port.
