Leap of Faith

Read Jamal Thalji's story: After they rescued her baby, the mother dolphin traded one kind of blue for another.



She rocketed toward the sky, all eyes watching. The dolphin hung in midair, just off the bow. Gravity took over and she handled it gracefully, splitting the surface of the water.



Then mother and calf were gone, swimming off into the distance.



What had the dolphin tried to say? Had she tried to say something?



Fred Canalori sure thinks so. So do his 10-year-old twins, Chelsea and Rylea. So does Larry Lavin. They were all on the boat.



They were the rescuers.



"She was saying 'Thank you,' " Chelsea said.



And therein lies a really cool tale - if you believe.
