Hey Jeanne! so good to hear that you are there....someday we will get back. Hope this finds you well, you can find me on FB under Pat Cunningham. Hugs. for you and for Fungie!
This is one amazing video... we saw Fungie on a boat trip 2006 and later on watched him playing from the tower. I asked on the Dingle facebook website just in the last 2 weeks, if Fungie is still there and apparently he is.. he must be VERY old now!
we had the good fortune to see Fungie many time while we visited Ireland in 1999. It is nice to see he is still doing well...hope to swim with him again some time. Great job Jeannine!
@patjoenkids Hi Patty, I don't know if you ever read this, but we have moved to Ireland! It is aug 2011 and we still play with Fungie each evening! Look in facebook under Rudolf Schamhart. It is full of Fungie photo.s!
wow hes really putting on a show for you.its so sweet he has made so human friends. i think dolphins are mans best friend in the sea. its nice to see people apreciate one and not interfere too much, and let him both be free and a friend.
Als jullie in Dingle zijn ga dan als het weer goed is naar het kleine strandje bij het oude torentje meestal speel ik daar met een rood rubber bootje FUNGIE FOREVER in de baai tussen 6 en 9 uur in de avond. ik woon namelijk zelf in Dingle.
Thank you so much for capturing the spirit of Fungie on video. It has actually made me cry with joy from my very happy memories of swimming with Fungie and the beauty of Dingle. Don't you just love him!I am so glad to see he is well. Long live Fungie power!!
u swam with fungi?? was it out at the mouth of the harbour?? i just bought a boat and im going to dingle in a month. does he come up to you when you are in the water?? or how does he act??
Hi, yes swimming from the lighthouse beach. If you just enjoy the moment this creates a space for him to appear. Best to swim at dawn when there are no other boats, and moor your boat,wear wet suit and snorkel. He can come up to you, but be patient, he dictates contact. He is beautiful to behold so its worth it. A boat has an advantage, he loves to play near them. Do not turn sharply and know where he is before you start the engine, to protect him from an accident,best of luck!
What supershots you made!!! Lucky, lucky you!... That's one happy dolphin!! You shouldn't be afraid to get wet though, hahaha... he loves you so much, you'll get soaked! Wouldn't you just jump right in to give him a huge cuddle?! He is so adorable!!!...
P.S. I just visited fungieforeverdotcom and I lóved the beautiful photographs of Fungie and read all the great stories. Especially the story about the encounter with Dony moved me very much! What a great, great experience!...
Go on you good thing!!! I've never seen people loosing their inhibitions and their masks as easily as they do when they encounter Fungi. So much joy brought by God's creation to many. Keep on dancing Fungi! We luv ya!
What a fabulous video! Fungie must have liked you a lot to get so close and be so playful. I saw him when I visited Dingle two months ago, but from a distance and with none of the fantastic antics you enjoyed and recorded. Thank you for sharing this and for such a lovely edit.
