Meeting a Porpoise

 

September 15

 

I never met a porpoise I didn’t like.

 

My first personal meeting with a porpoise outside of an aquarium was in waters off Panama. I was out on the bowsprit of a fishing boat and one swam along side and rolled inside our bow wake, looked at me a squealed. I leaned over and said hello. The porpoise squealed back at me. This eye-to-eye "conversation"went on for several minutes. It was a friendly encounter I still cherish. I wonder what the porpoise was thinking?
