Yesterday evening at sunset a little bird flew onto the boat, after circling us for about an hour, and perched on some ropes. This morning we found it in a wet corner in the cockpit and put it in the bucket lined with kitchen paper. Unfortunately it did not survive to fly away. We had another bird that managed to make its way into the saloon unseen last night. He did survive to fly away (and leave his mess behind!).
 
Today just before lunch we saw 2 pale brown animales in the water. Not whales, possibly dolphins, we did not get close enough to have a really good look.
