Last Friday wife and I launched our TI at Chokolosky to go sailing fishing and camping, we went out on a falling tide at arround 2.30 pm on our way we desired to look for some fire wood to take with us to camp and in the proses we saw two dolphins mother and calf dangerously waddling in very shalow water next to a beach, we immeditely realized that this animals where in trouble so we called the ranger station and talked to someone that basically brushed us off like if we where making up the whole thing, any how I told wife if this animals are to live we have to pull them out our selves so we went in knee deep mud and got closed very slowly as not to scare them and started to pull them out they did not mind us touching them however they did mind being separated from each other so we pulled them both next to each other, I was exhausted the mother was 11 feet long and very heavy the calf about 4 1/2 feet finally they where safe in deeper water.
On Sat while going fishing we where stunned to se the two dolphings they came back to the shallows with a falling tide where they died and later washed up on the beach by the high tide. It was all very strange, why do they suiside could they be sick or where they afraid of something maybe sharks ?
Any how this totally ruined our trip needless to say wife cried for a couple of ours.
Another thing on our way out I stopped at the ranger station and spoke to a ranger at the marina and I got the same same response, in my honest opinion most of these law enforcement types are simply socialy castrated.
