The Back Story

Swarms

Of dolphins:
Which we like.
And bees:
Which we don't like...
Each day we've sailed we've seen huge pods of fast moving dolphins. The waves they create make them look like a river as they travel at high speed in long tightly packed groups. One pod appeared to be a mile or more in length and was a dozen or more dolphins in width.
The bees are another story. We're seeing similar numbers of these creatures--but there is nothing endearing about having a thousand bees show up on your boat in search of water...
Making screens has just jumped in priority.

  2. I'm deathly allergic. I carry an epi-pen around my neck. Our *entire* boat looked like his dish at one point.
