Wildlife Report

After sitting on the lifeline for 10 hours, our bird flew away last night just after sunset. We were nowhere near land and there we no other boats or ships in sight. Wherever the bird is, I hope it is safe.
No whale sightings yet, but there is still time.
A little while ago George spotted a dolphin and shortly after that at least a dozen of them came to play with us. They stayed and played in our bow wake for several minutes while George and I took pictures and videos. George caught the best one of a dolphin jumping. I hope you don't get tired of hearing about and seeing photos of dolphins. We never tire of them, although we are indeed tired.
We have not had the most restful night and day. The wind shifted to the northeast last night which caused the waves in the Gulf Stream to increase and become confused (short waves coming from all directions.). Breeze On has been lurching this way and that and also crashing down off of the back side of the steepest waves. The northeast wind was not forecast and if we had known we would not have come this far. We are exiting the Steam now and hope that the waves will decrease. In any case, we should get to Cape Lookout by early morning and then on into the marina in Beaufort, NC
