CountryMouse's Refuge

I had taken our boat, The Gabbiano, south of the Lagoon, to search for the Blue Holes. But then I got an email from the head of our foundation. He said we had an important client who would like to dive at the Coral Forest area, looking for a particular kind of fish, so I piloted our boat back there.

I met with the client (whose name now escapes me), and we went on our dive. I was able to locate the fish he especially wanted to see. He was very happy with our excursion underwater. Upon return to the boat, he gave me a special pen that writes underwater. And later I got an email from my boss saying I had been rated a 4 out of 5 for the dive. :-)

Then I took the Gabbiano back to the Blue Holes area. It is SO BEAUTIFUL! The way the light streams down through the water, through the holes--I can't wait to dive there again! There I found a Dolphin Medal artifact. I also encountered a playful dolphin who scooted off and went back to the Lagoon area.

The lady I work with on the boat said why not follow him and see if we could befriend him? Back we went to the Lagoon. I dove and found our dolphin. He seemed lost and trapped in the Lagoon, as it is shallow water and his echolocation wasn't working well there. I led him out of the Lagoon to the Coral Forest, and he seemed happy. I think I have made a friend. :-)

My companion on the boat gave me an underwater whistle with which to call him. Also, I was encouraged to name him. So....he's named Taffy. :-D I tried teaching him a trick; but I hadn't read the manual yet, so I wasn't able to figure out how to do that. Next time I play I'm sure I'll get it. :-)

I *LOVE* this game! It is so relaxing and fun! More adventure reports as I go along. :-)
