Hi Friends, I am super busy tonight getting my underwater camera ready for a big trip to the East Coast by boat at 9:00am tomorrow morning. This morning my friend Neil’s who runs and operates a company called Dive Charter Curacao www.divechartercuracao.com called and asked if I would like to join on a fun trip to the East coast tomorrow morning and of course I said yes, so check back tomorrow night to see how this adventure turns out.
Here’s one for Aimee that we took just a few days before she left on her long vacation to New Mexico. This is Aimee holding our year and a half old baby Pasku who was born on Christmas morning 2009! We call him our little Christmas miracle!! Behind Aimee is his mother Tela who is there for backup and to make sure things don’t get out of control. The whole time Aimee is holding him he is talking to his momma thru a series of squeaks and squeals maybe saying “it’s alright mom she’s just holding me! Bottlenose dolphins identify themselves with a signature whistle meaning each and every dolphin has his or her own one of a kind noise which many scientists believe is kind of like saying their name in whistle language. As you may or may not know, sound waves travel through water at a speed of about 1.5 km/sec (0.9 mi/sec), which is 4.5 times faster than sound traveling through air. These sound waves bounce off objects in the water and return to the dolphin in the form of an echo. By this complex system of echolocation, dolphins can determine size, shape, speed, distance, direction, and even some of the internal structure of objects in the water. George, the leader of our people, was doing some sound experiments at the Sea Aquarium with all the different noises dolphins make underwater. I remember Aimee was helping do some of the recording, I will have to check with George and find out what progress has been made and let you know.
I better get going, still have lots to do for tomorrows adventure. Sunny, hot, humid, rainy regards, Barry
