No crocs or gators, so no Quasi

Sharks.
From 1986 until 2019 I had not canoed or kayaked anywhere other than Florida when I went to visit family and paddled on a large lake on the northern Georgia, South Carolina border. No gators or sharks there but I still found myself scanning my surroundings for gators and fins; it's become a reflex.

I've seen shark fins at the beach. And some playful dolphins. And seals. And whales in the distance..

Always keep an eye open. Not so many in Victoria, but Australia still gets lots of shark attacks.

My best day on the water was right here in Charlotte Harbor just a few miles from home when I happened into a large, slow moving pod of dolphins of all ages and I was able to keep up with them, surrounded by them, for about an hour and a half. Usually in the harbor they're alone or in small groups and jet off. It was summer and hot AF but I forgot all about the heat. I could've stayed with them longer but I ran out of time and had to turn back. I learned what a dolphin's breath smells like when one surfaced and blew right beside me; surprisingly it wasn't fishy or bad at all, lol.

Dolphins probably look at humans and wonder why stupid sharks eat that trash.

Dolphin cutlet eh? I've never seen a dolphin with legs.

But I'm willing to bet I wouldn't like it since I don't eat seafood.. can't and don't.

It's like swans. You know swans are fucking delicious. In England, eating one was classified as an act of treason until around 20 years ago. The queen owned them all.

I lived in a part of England (Aylesbury) near a lake that had a lot of wild swans, I always wondered if I hit one with my car should I scrape it up and roast it. Supra killed sacrilicious swan.

Also having lived there, I never pass up an opportunity if I see Aylesbury duck on the menu. You know one of those fuckers relatives shat on my car.

I bet you saw a lot of English birds you wanted to eat. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Cutlets as in reference to fish 'cause you know dolphins are near enough.
