Swimming with the Mullets

You hear of people swimming with the dolphins. You have to travel to exotic places and pay the porpoise's trainers big bucks to commune with the aquatic mammals. I found an economic substitute right here in Craven County.


We live in a townhouse on the Neuse and our POA pool has not been opened yet. We are still waiting for the Health Department to inspect and let us open. I really wanted to swim and didn't feel like driving to the Y. So I decided to hit the river. At the Y you have to  swim a lot of laps to swim any distance. In the river I swam one lap. A quarter of mile out and a quarter of a mile back. On the return trip I swam through a school of mullets. I actually hit one with my right hand. As I was swimming they were jumping around me. So if you feel the need to swim with water bound animals just go jump in the river.
