Sardines, dolphins, and the lot!

Wow, what a day! Today had everything!
The quiet of daybreak was broken when swarms of sardines started jumping out of the water. In a scramble, the crew jumped on deck, throwing all manner of hooks (without bait) into the water and pulling out one fish after the next, sometimes several on one line. (All were then grilled in the evening as the sun set)
Then, just an hour later, the dolphins joined us, surfing the bow wave! One baby circling its mother as it flapped away to keep up. And then as we circled the Cape into open and very rough seas, hundreds of speed boats from Iran came shooting past us like a swarm of hornets, jumping through a two meter swell with high winds with their light boats leaping up and threatening to flip over.
On the floor, a tangle of sheep and goats, flying, and climbing around with the second person throwing them back. It was pandemonium!
And then a sad picture, one dead sheep that had gone overboard floating past our ship as we passed.
Oh my god what a day of impressions!Meer informatie
