Dolphin Journey

I had the good fortune of going out on a boat with Dolphin Journeys in Kona, Hawaii. Nancy Sweatt takes small groups out to swim with the dolphins. I contacted her company because of her spiritual connection with the dolphins. She already had a group going out on the one day that I was going to be in Kona. After a couple of emails, they contacted the family and I was invited to join their party. 

The family I joined was kind and friendly and accepted me as one of their own.

The dolphins accepted me in as well. We stopped the boat to watch the dolphins jump and spin out of the water. Kavika, the Captain asked if anyone knew why the dolphins spin like that. No one had and answer. His reply was, "Because they can."

Once in the water, the dolphins seemed to disappear. I asked them to come back and spend some time with me. I began to hear clicking a chirping, but still did not see anything. Then in my peripheral vision, I saw a pair swimming toward me. The first visit there were 7 or 8 dolphins. They came so close and they swam along at my pace. After a little while, they were ready to move more quickly. The headed toward the surface, their tail fins right in front of me and they swam out of sight.



A little while later, the clicking and singing began again. Slowly a couple of dolphins appeared and then more and more. They were under me and beside me. So close that I could reach out my arm and touch them. I was one of them. They did not make me work to keep up, they swam with me. I kicked and watched. Amazed, content, wanting to remember every moment. There were mothers and babies, pairs and quartets rubbing against one another, they were turning and spinning below me. Often two of them would swim together, one up-side-down the other above and they would be touching their fins together. So happy it seemed to be in connection with each other.


As I watched and absorbed noticing their coloration dark to light from top to bottom, one drifted up next to me. I turned to look at the beautiful creature. It looked me in the eye. I looked back and it began to swim around me in a circle. I turned on my side and joined in the circle swim. Together we went around my back arched to water caressing me and a dolphin playing with me.


There was no other world at that time. It was just me and the dolphins. I was, for a little while, a part of their family.

25. That is the number of dolphins that I swam with during that magical journey. 25. "As you go though major life changes, expect the best and your optimism will be rewarded." That is what Doreen Virtue wrote about the number 25 in her book Angel Numbers 101.


I am blessed. I am thankful. I shall spin whenever I can.
