Yet another important message from the Bridge just now and the umpteenth time we have been interrupted while attempting to relax and read one of the many books brought for the trip; dolphins on the bow, maybe 10 or more. Everyone jumps up, grabs cameras and rushes out on deck.
Previously it was orcas on starboard; penguins to port, king penguins astern, humpbacks ahead, fin whales at two o’ clock, rockhoppers at six, on a calm day petrels in the water, on wild, windy days petrels flying, earlier today cattle egrets way of course, and wandering albatross, port and starboard, astern and ahead allmost every day.
So you’ll understand now why no books will be read on this trip.
