Today was more of the same, as we continue to motorsail south.
This morning around 4:30 am, during my watch, I saw something out of the corner of my eye, near the midship cleat on the starboard side. It was the cormorant, sleeping with his head tucked around on his back, weaving back and forth on his webbed feet. We let him stay for a while but then he started to move toward the aft deck. He had pooped enough, thank you and it was time for him to shove off.
So we shooed him away. In a little bit he returns and tries to land on the port side solar panel. Nope, this is not a cormorant landing zone. He flew off again, circled around and landed on the mainsail on the boom. No! Get off you silly bird. He landed on the deck and tried to waddle forward. Off we said. Finally he got the hint.
We hope we do not pick up any more hitchhikers....
