What We're Trying To Achieve

The Guardian has a beautiful photo essay of dolphins swimming in the surf off South Africa.

 Really, isn't this the feeling we're all trying to achieve out on the water? That sense of effortless power? The one-ness with the environment? Well, these guys have that in spades. They fully understand the ocean and how to move through it ( and in the interface between ocean and air). The harbour porpoise' and orcas I've seen locally seem to have the same sense of power and grace.
