Auckland for University so
they brought the date forward and the rest of my siblings when to Grandmas up
the road. 
    Things had been rough in the
family for a few years after Joe died but who ever said time heals was right. 
Slowly the smiles and laughter returned and we managed to remember the good
times without tears and sadness.
    It still took Mum along time
to be able to return to Matapouri Bay but with the arrival of grandchildren she
found new life and purpose and the last Christmas we all had up here had been a
merry event.  I liked to think Joe had been looking down with the biggest grin
watching all the antics the newest generation were getting up too.
    I shook my head to clear away
the thoughts and looked over at Mack and smiled.  He was looking out at the Bay
and when I turned my head to follow his gaze I saw what had caught his
attention.  Dolphins were a frequent sight out there and I had been lucky to
surf the waves with them on many occasions.  They were very friendly and loved
to come in close and show off their magnificent water prowess.  I never tired
of watching them.
    “If we hurry we might get to
swim with them.  They are really friendly and put on a great show,” and I
grabbed his hand to hurry him down the hill.
    When I got to the bottom I
stripped down to my bikini and dashed into the water.   It was beautifully
refreshing and I rolled over on my back to bobble in the waves as I waited for
Mack to catch up. 
    I felt myself being dunked and
I came up indignantly to see Mack laughing at me.  I lunged over to dunk him
back but he was too quick. He had dived under the water and had disappeared.  I
turned around to see him swimming out towards the bay opening where we had seen
the dolphins with strong rhythmic strokes.  I could tell he was use to regular
exercise.  I was a good swimmer myself and set off after him.
    We were about half way out
when we were rewarded by the sight of a dolphin.  He had caught a small wave
and was flying down the face of it before he jumped off.  I turned around to
see if Mack had seen it and his huge grin confirmed that he had.
    We stayed out there for about
half an hour frolicking with them.  They never came within touching distance
but were often only a few meters away and it was an exhilarating experience. 
    “That was amazing Jess.  I
really wish the boys had gotten to see this.  They would have loved it!” 
Mack’s words were tumbling over each other and I could tell the experience had
blown him away and I was glad. 
    “They’re pretty special all
right.  I love the way they seem to think that they are the luckiest animal
alive!”
    “I think I want to come back
as a dolphin in my next life.” I laughed at Mack but was glad that he was all
man in this one!
    “I’m going to head in now
Mack, the water is getting chilly.”
    “You should feel the water
back home, this is like a bath!  I’m going to swim for a bit longer.  Will you
be right making your own way back?” 
    I told him I would be fine
and struck out for shore and was relieved when I felt the sand under my feet
again as I was totally spent.  I slowly walked up to where I had dropped my
towel and started drying myself off while scanning the water for Mack.  I could
see him still diving in and out of the waves and it was obvious that he really
enjoyed the water.
    I spread my towel out on the
sand and sat down to warm up.  For March the sun was still remarkable warm and
I thought how good it was to be out of the city.  I guess at heart I was still
a country girl who felt most comfortable out in nature.
    I looked up to see Mack
getting out of the water and got a shock to see that he didn’t have a stitch of
clothing on.  I quickly dropped my gaze but not before noticing how well he
looked a la natural!  He had a bronzed glow to his skin, and his broad
shoulders and chest tapered down to a taut stomach and trim waist.  He had a
generous bottom which was why he looked so
