12th June 2010. 11.30

Now that was incredible. Flat calm now, not a breath of wind. Boat not
moving at all so I went for a swim off the back and a bit of a scrub. Water
is over 4Km deep here. Still some shearwaters paddling around, one came over
to me and let me stroke its´ back! Then I swam over to another one and it
let me pick it up, just for a moment. It squirmed a bit so I let it go
straight away but how amazing!!!!! When you are in the water it´s impossible
to describe the deep blue colour. Almost painful it´s so blue. And my
friends the shearwaters swimming with me. A memory for ever.
