About Me
I'm a reborn hippie. I live in a van on the rocky shore of Clare, Ireland, ten meter from the high water line and sometimes less. I used to be a sculptor in wood and ran into a dolphin by a fluke. Now I swim with friendly wild dolphins since 1992 and document this on my website since 2002. 'Dolphin Address', www.janploeg.nl

Favorite Word:
dolphinTo me 'dolphin' stands for a quality I'd like to attain. It's not a stand-alone for intelligence, but a dynamic way to view one self in a three dimensional perspective.
Least Favorite Word:
eardrumBut only when they are terrorized by uncontrollable mechanical devices and when I dive deeper than four meters or as a roll-up, smoked through my ear
Favorite Quote:
