11th June 2010. 18.00

It is completely utterly peaceful out here tonight. Sun just going down.
Fish in the fridge for tomorrow and belly full of sushi with cous cous for
late lunch. I have 4 friends. Great shearwaters. They´ve been following
since yesterday, think they´re the same ones but who knows. They will fly
ahead of the boat about 100´ and land, paddle out of the way as the boat
goes past then when about couple hundred feet behind repeat the procedure.
As the boat goes past they duck they´re heads underwater looking for
something. All day they do this apart from when I threw some sushi leftovers
overboard. Such a squabble over that! But so peaceful tonight. Straus
playing on mp3 player. In my mind I can see the shearwaters waltzing on the
water dancing around the boat. They look like they´re wearing dinner jackets
already. Waltz away friendly shearwaters. Hope they stay for a while. It´s
nice to have friends round for tea.
