Dolphin Sighting!!!

Wednesday night, following a 9:00pm lifeboat drill (Yes, that’s 11:00pm on Emma’s body clock – YIKES!) we departed SanDiego for Ensenada, Mexico. Emma and Diana were asleep when we pushed back, but awoke in the night to the vaguely familiar and very soothing rocking the MV Explorer provides when at sea. Emma thrust open the curtains at daybreak and Diana, who accidentally slept in her contacts the previous night, called Wade to the window to look at what she thought might be something surfacing, diving and resurfacing. At first, all he could see was kelp, but then he saw them: “Dolphins!” Diana scrambled for some rewetting drops and our trio watched dolphins swimming for about five minutes. Incredible!
