Amanda had to have watch on the foredeck this
morning, becasue there were a lot of logs and tree trunks floating in the water.
Her job was to point them out, so we could zig zag
through.
Next to one trunk that came down the side of the
boat, was a lump that grey and flapping about. First, we thought it
was a wounded dolphin, but we soon discovered it was a turtle. He was eating
stuff off the tree trunk.
We then had a good look at every trunk that floated
by, and many of them had a turtle attatched to it.
They were not at all afraid,
just minding their own business and looking at us with one eye! Quite
amazing.
Numerous books are being read, everybody's favorite
at the moment is "Molly Moon's Amazing Book about Hypnosis".
Another great long swim this afternoon, great to
see the kids diving and jumping in, 300nm from the nearest land, 2000 mtrs
underneath us!
