Worded Wednesday 6-11-14

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

I have retooled Wordless Wednesday and decided that it is Worded Wednesday, for me at least.   My super power is paddling. I've been a standup paddleboarder since before it was trendy.  My usual paddles in the summer are early morning, so I can watch the sun come up.  The usual suspects who join me are dolphin, manatee, fish and birds.   After seeing a few tarpon fins, I thought it as a tarpon coming toward me but the fin wan't bent over. Since the "fish" didn't come up for air, it wasn't a dolphin.  Then it turned sideways to circle my paddleboard and I figured out what it was.  Totally harmless for anyone who is conserned. So harmless, in fact, that I didn't pick up the loud mouth dog, but opened my king size otterbox and pulled out my good camera and was able to get off this shot before it finished circling in the board ... and swimming off into the sunrise.

Chris - You must have been quick and had that camera handy.  That is a great shot.

I can't even imagine being on a paddleboard and seeing that fin anywhere near my realm. . . Yikes!

Oh, that was close!  I'm glad it's harmless and you're safe.  Nice photo!

Great picture Chris, paddling sounds like a great way to start a summer morning, I always enjoy the solitude of an early morning canoe ride around a lake.

Chris: Great picture and story. Love the adventure but not sure I would have been as calm as you.
