Starting off we had very smooth seas. During the sail we were allowed to go onto the bow which was very enjoyable and got a great ocean breeze.
If you look where I'm pointing, in the next picture you can see where a whale was, we passed two or three that I know of. You couldn't see much but you could see when they were breathing.
The ocean was truly this color, I couldn't believe it.
Got up on Tuesday morning for the sunrise.
That afternoon they cam over the intercom and said that some dolphins were spotted off of the port side,
as soon as everybody rushed out to deck 7 we could see them from a far off distance jumping out of
the water. They came directly towards the ship and ended up swimming along the bow. It's
estimated that there were over a hundred, I wouldn't doubt that at all.
THEY WERE EVERYWHERE!!!
Tuesday night we got fuel from another ship, at that same time a fishing boat was getting fuel
and decided to give us two big Mahi-mahi. So we, in the galley, cleaned them up on Wednesday
and served them to the deck and engineering departments.
Thursday I got up early again to see the sunrise. Tought it would be good to see it again before
we docked that afternoon. You couldn't see much of a sunrise because it was very foggy out
but it was still worth getting up for.
Even though it was very foggy out, the ocean surface was so smooth that
we could see the reflection of the ship below us.
Here you can see a small glimpse of how much the ship rocks. There were a few times
I was a little surprised to see how much it moved, but overall it was a very smooth sail.
A pilot was dropped off to help us navigate into the port.
The Ghana advance team greeted us at the dock.
First contact!
