...trip

Dolphin trip undertaken today…though technically we couldn’t call it a dolphin trip because we only saw two of them, and swimming very slowly at that. Very disappointing to have dad with us and not see the schools we saw last time. We spotted a few flying fish which were interesting to see - since I’ve never before seen them, I’m going to assume all the blog readers haven’t seen them either and describe them. They are fish, and they fly. Probably that’s why they are called flying fish. Really, they fly for a couple of metres just above the water, and their fins look like wings. We saw plenty of skuas, which are brown terns (those are birds). It was a good morning though, and nice to be out on the boat. We sailed quite a distance from the island looking for the dolphins and the sea was quite rough, but since we were only out for a short time, no one got sea-sick. And no hats were lost this time!
