Another day and another night ticked off and
we're that little bit closer to arriving in port. Dolphins swam alongside for a
few minutes last night, we only noticed because of the green/blue dolphin shape
that was darting about in the phosphorescence in the water beside us and
then as their fins broke through the water the colour of the
ripples was magical. An incredible thing to witness!
I forgot to say yesterday about the planes.
Two days ago, a Pakistani plane flew over very low a couple of times. At
the time there was a tanker around 3 miles to our starboard and we wondered if
he'd reported us as suspicious. Communication wasn't that great but we
concluded he didn't as he was asking if it was a test. We had no radio
contact with the plane but it was very comforting to know that they were
about. And then yesterday we had a fighter jet fly over just once, we're not
sure of the nationality. He dipped his wings as he came in between us all and
then did a somersault as he climbed up again. Amazing!
