Birds and Turtles

As we have sailed south on this passage, the season has changed. The endless blue horizon is the same but the latitudes have slowly slipped by and the tropical heat has joined us. We are enjoying calm seas, beautiful weather and moon lit nights. Yesterday a large pods of dolphins joined us for some time in the morning and we saw whales breaching as the afternoon turned to evening.

One thing that I had never seen before but seems to be very in fashion at the moment, is sea birds taking a rest on the back of turtles.. It is amazing, that rather than an occasional or even once in a life time sighting we have seen lots. I even managed to get a photo of one today!
