Mike Petrich was at Black Point Beach on The Sea Ranch on Sunday. Bottlenose Dolphins had been spotted and a few people were called to photograph them. Keeping at least six feet from others, Mike got a very interesting photo with a surfer catching a wave, and three of these dolphins underneath him!
I wonder if the surfer saw the dolphins. What a fun photo!
Bottlenose Dolphins are expanding their territory northward, and we are seeing them more often. I think these dolphins were the original surfers, and they sure seem to enjoy surfing the waves.
Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
Brisk, sunny with clouds, with rain coming in later tonight. We need it, we welcome it!

It is not enough for surfers to stay 6' apart. Risky sports can lead to accidents that require rescue, transport and medical attention bringing dozens of people into close contact. This is a very selfish thing to be doing right now. https://www.outsideonline.com/2411094/backcountry-accidents-coronavirus-colorado

Post authorI see your point. Beach access has now been blocked off as we all shelter in place. Still, it was a magical moment. May we return to more magical moments soon.
