Yesterday as we were half way down the channel entering Bahia Conception a large pod of large dolphins joined us! Three at a time swam between the hulls, accompanied by 2 or more along the outside of both hulls. When they got far enough in front of us, they did a u-turn and went back to the end of the line. In the meantime another group of 8 or 10 swam through the same way, followed by another group! As the ones in the middle, swimming between the hulls, came out in front, they dashed across the front of the hulls, showing off their agility and brain power, never once touching the boat! They followed us in all the way and stayed with us until we were safely anchored! They looked up at us from time to time. With Roy busy at the helm all I could do was applaud and wave. I like to think they appreciated that!
Weather warmed up considerably since the wind has died and humidity is rising -- bringing more bugs our way. We stayed inside during the mid day heat and played a game of Scrabble.
Since we are without internet or phone, we're dating this entry.
