Dolphins, LIVE!

We were very busy on deck one time when Timo, our bosun shouted to us that there were dolphins riding the bow waves.

DOLPHINS! WOWOWOW!

All the deckhands, even the engineers and the boat mechanic very excitedly rushed to the bow and flattened ourselves on the floor and stuck our heads out as far as it would go over the rails.

There were SIX of them! They looked so graceful and sleek. They were swimming so effortlessly ahead of the waves that it all looked so easy.

There we were, with goofy smiles plastered on our faces, whooping it up!

Luckily I had managed to borrow a camera from the electrician and I managed to snap some shots.

Rose and Jack doing their balancing act but below the bow this time!



And two more on the other side

It wasn’t the first time that I had seen actual dolphins but each time I did I would be in awe of these magnificent creatures. That same day, later in the afternoon, we saw a whale breach twice beside the ship.

After that, everyone was all smiles and in high spirits that day. It was a perfect ending to another great sailing day onboard the Warrior.
