|When you are on the way back to the harbor after the afternoon dive, wild dolphins often swim in front and along the dive boat. They seem to love following boats.

|The Yangtze river dolphin is but one example of the indiscriminate destruction that our kind infilicts every waking minute on the very world it depends on. I believe that much, much more could have been done to protect this unique and wonderful species.

The song is "Raindrops", composed by Roy Phillips.
