Kona Dolphins Circling Mooring Ball

Dolphins this morning subdued, slow, pensive.  Waited for them in the shallow coral, they approached and circled.  A whistle bubble stream with no sound, beyond my range. Perhaps the dolphins were relaxing after a week of turbulent water.  Summerlike calm, a relief from the winter storms. We rejoiced in silence and poise.   
I wondered if they had experienced a death.  Later found that a whale was hit by a boat yesterday, not believed dead.
