6th of September, 2009

I was a shovel-girl today (actually, I was doing quite well). I spend the whole days admiring dolphin-fish (mahi -mahi) that love flying fish and chase them around Tanasza. Running away, the scared flying fish, get on the deck and then I, with a small blue shovel in my hand, run around and rescue (?) the flying creatures by throwing them back into the water.
I also got myself a bump on the head. When it rains I close the companionway door and this time
I somehow forgot to open it after the sun came out (or I rather forgot that it was closed).
I was visited by a school of dolphins, the young ones were jumping out of the water...there
is so much blue around, it's nice here. Oh, a turtle is swimming after our stern...it bobs up its head every now and then...Golly, are the turtles catching up with me!?
Incredible.
