Hey CoolChange, what's on your IPOD, tonight?

Little River Band-Cool Change

video
This song is a special one for me. This video is one of the best versions I have ever seen. Man I love the ocean!

I was wade fishing the ferry landing at Port Aransas about 7 or 8 years ago. I was with two good friends. One, a guide out of Riviera,TX,  the other a young novice.

Across the channel a dolphin came about 10' out of the water, did a couple of 360's, and nosed dived back into the blue water. Our young friend asked,"Why do they do that?". With a quiet chuckle my guide friend said,"Because they can." He was right.

  3. Porpoise in the water always make me smile. If the surface unexpectedly near you when wade fishing, they make you pee your pants. Then you smile, because you know the black tip sharks are not close by.
    There a few absolutes in this world. Death, taxes, concrete cracks and if the specks are running in the surf, the black tip sharks are there too.

  6. Love the song. I was lucky enough years ago. (1985 or 86.) To be scuba diving in Cozumel, with a good friend. When all of a sudden, we had seven or more dolphin's show up. It was great. (If I could find the pictures, I'd post them.)
    We found out that they had followed a "Love" boat to the inter national dock.
