I forgot to write yesterday about the welcoming committee. A group of 5 or 6 dolphins came along the boat as we were entering the anchorage. We put the dingy down and I sat in it, tied alongside as we got closer. The dolphins were leaping, doing 'headstand' and wiggling their tails. They would come close to the dingy under water, turn and look at me, then swim under the boat. It was quite amazing. I could almost touch them they came so close. What interesting creatures and they looked like they were having fun checking us out.
There was a full moon last night. It was bright like a street light. Near it was a planet but we were not sure which one it was. Both were bright over the glacier.
This morning we looked outside and there were bergie bits floating by. Nothing dangerous but interesting. There were rachas from the east which were a little disconcerting as that puts us on a lee shore. We ran the engine slightly in forward against the wind. Eventually it stopped. Earlier the winds had stopped completely and as we started to get our gear on, the winds pipped up again. so we are staying put.
We will check the gribs as usual to see what we do tomorrow.
Cheers
