Day 6 - Maine Passage
Immediately after dinner, we were entertained by an enormous pod
of porpoises, including some very young ones - not more than 3'
long - who stuck directly to the side of what we presume was the
mother(s). There must have been 20 dolphins playing next to us,
for probably more than 15 minutes. What a treat, as they did
their leaps and dives, along with the usual playing around in
front of the bow. Not quite as satisfying as a cigarette right
after dinner for Lydia, but a good second choice, she being no
longer a smoker!


Really like reading your posts Skip... reminds me of my experiences with
them off the coast... amazing leaps and twists, almost within arm's reach.
They were with us for the better part of an hour.

Also, good news about quiting smoking... bad juju that.
