Thermonuclear Cocktail Whales!

After my morning dash to the rail, I came face to face with a glittering, sparkly dolphin. Regular dolphins had been playing in our bow-wave the day before, but apparently now they've learned how to sparkle!

By means of explanation, my watch started at 4am, when the bioluminescent critters are at their happiest, and the dozen or so dolphins swimming about in them were churning them up. They rocketed back and forth across the bow, and took turns torpedoing the side of the brig. Each time they dashed by, they left streamers of glowing green twinklies.

I can't believe that after the past few days, I almost started this entry with "Nothing much happened today."
