We are now Anchored in Port Newry at the moment , it is calm and we did a bit of fishing today .Its a nice change from all the turbulence and the swells . I even saw a dolphin poke his head up out of the water as if it was saying Hello . His eyes were big and round , he looked like a gray beach ball , and smooth . He was quite only the sound of him surfacing to get air from his blow hole . Never seen one that close before , they are quite friendly and sometimes when you sail and the rising waves that break the beams will invite them to come take a ride near the bow of the boat , its like a free ride for them . We seen 3 whales today 2 far off one up close , the one that was breaching was way off , but i seen her raise a HUGE flipper . they are so big , bigger than our boat and quite graceful in the water , you would think they would be clumsy but they aren't . and the misconceptions that all whales are not cautious of man , they have built in radars and they know when a boat is near , they tend to keep their distance , especially when they have a baby with them.
Today was a good day ;)
