As you will know, I tend to leave most of the island exploring to George & Yorkie as I am happiest being on, or not far from, my boat. I therefore spend a lot of time on board and there are few things I like better than a spot of fishing.
Sometimes I use a line and fish for my supper but, more often than not, I just like to throw out a bit of food and see the fish gather.
I find the best way to do this is to sit on the swimming platform armed with a hunk of bread. I throw this into the sea in little pieces and immediately I am joined by hundreds of little fish. In my picture you can see some of them darting around, with their silver bodies glistening in the sunlight. The water is so clear that I can even see their expressions. It is a truly magical sight and one I never fail to tire of.
When the bread runs out and I've got a bit hot in the sunshine, I simply unclip my safety line and dive into the water. As the fish get used to me they aren't frightened and swim around me tickling my fur.It's not quite swimming with dolphins but the next best thing.
Lots of love, Eddie xxx

What a lovely photo Eddie! I bet the fish were pleased you were happy to swim anong them as their friend rather than trying to catch them for your tea!
