"Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I've got a beautiful feelin' everythings going my way!" :-)

Today was a brilliant day out on the sea. The seas were moderate and there was a bit of wind, eventually during the aftenoon we got 15 knots. We had a lovely swim in the morning and then a fabulous spectator wildlife tour in the afternoon. A lady on board sat in the sun and she sang..."Oh what a beautiful moooorning, oh what a beautiful day. I've got a beautiful feeeeeeling, everythings going my way..." she continued to sing the whole song! it really was the perfect soundtrack. The dusky dolphins were out in full force of around 400+, they were often intercepted by the hectors dolphin, and we watched as the hectors seemed to get sandwiched between two duskies! every so often a New Zealand fur seal rolled above the surface and waved his flippers in the air. White capped albatross flew over head so gracefully, they are simply beautiful birds. These birds have long narrow wings, long bills, with nostrils in small tubes on the sides. These birds are oceanic mainly, they are silent at sea, except when fighting over food.

The wildlife in this small part of the globe is simply incredible, there is such an abundance, its a great sign.
