“Many years ago I was a member of Surfers Paradise Surf Club. Out training on a rescue board one afternoon I spotted a pod of dolphins acting in a way I’d never seen before. They circled and cicled one dolphin and I thought that it may have been ill. They came right under my board. The one being circled came part way out of the water and there was a tiny tail sticking out – she was giving birth and being attended to by the sisterhood! A couple more circles and she came up, baby at her side, quick breath for them both and they and the sisters were gone. It was reported in the paper the next day and I got to speak to a visiting professor who was a dolphin expert, about my experience. What a truly special and GRAND moment!”
