sunrise with a dolphin in front of the boat
yellow path of sunrise
standing watch - looking for wind
We finally arrived in Huatulco yesterday afternoon. As I said earlier, it was a long, hot and boring passage that seemed to take forever. A few bright spots along the way. Sunrises and sunsets were a welcome bit of color in an otherwise drab trip. several things stand out for me: turtles floating on the water, oblivious to our passing. Dolphins, lots and lots of dolphins, at the bow of the boat jumping out of the the water, twisting and flopping back down. Our last night out in pitch blackness before the moon came up, we were surrounded by dolphins trailing phosphorescence underwater. Squiggles of neon stretching out from the boat in all directions. Then jumping and twisting and splashing back into fountains of neon green.
journal entry. i'm surrounded by greyness. a thick impenetrable wall of grey except near the sky, a glimpse of sunrise. the morning is having difficulty pulling itself away from the night. water sloshes against the hull as we sway into the wind at 3 kn. it's nearly 8am now and sunlight has filtered through the grey layering, a glistening yellow path directly ahead of us.
