Every night at 5, people get on the SSB radio and chat. The topic right now is sea life sightings. I thought it was cool that I saw a couple of whales breach fairly close to the boat but other folks are reporting having to alter course to avoid hitting a whale, or better yet the one boat that was escorted by 6 whales for over half an hour! Someone else had a huge group ("thousands") of dolphins following them for hours. That one may be children's hour hyperbole.
The coolest thing for me about my whale sighting was that I was alone in the cockpit at the time, enjoying the beauty of the day and the sound of the boat cutting through the water, as I attempted to hold the course determined by the navigator. It was kind of tough because I was looking around too much! It is just spectacular out here.
