Subject: RE: BS: Dolphins and Humans: Partners
Yes last summer we visited Fungie and Mrs Shambles managed to resist jumping off the boat to swim with him too.

It seems that many people in Dingle have made a good living (directly or indirectly) from Fungie's stay for a number of years. Not too sure what Fungie gets out of it all but everyone seems to be happy. Especially the many visitors.

Having experienced two different wild dolphins who seem to choose human company - it is still a puzzle to me why they would want this. However, it is a thrill to have the opportunity be able to get so close to these wonderful wild creatures.
