Dolphins

We’re sitting down to lunch when there’s a call on the ship’s announcement system: “You may like to know that there’s a school of dolphins swimming off our starboard bow”. Naturally everyone rushes to the deck to catch a glimpse.

For a couple of minutes there’s great excitement as we watch several dolphins skimming through the water, and then, as quickly as they appeared, they’re off. Perhaps they’ve been reading Douglas Adams.

The remainder of the afternoon is spent sunbathing and relaxing.
