Jim,
I wish I liked gin, but I don't. It's a true story, and never would have
believed it myself. In speaking with a native at the hotel, she said, that
she's heard of this happening, but it's rare and the dolphin must have been
pretty hungry, but it's happened.
She said I probably had a yellow fin Tuna, their favorite meal......
Sam....
