We had this sole little bird flying the same pattern around our boat for hours this morning and last night. We called him Petey. He was a pretty bird.
At first, we thought he was trying to land or find food, but after I got out the camera, he started getting really close to the boat and doing tricks. I think he was putting on a show for us. He would land in the water just ahead of our boat, float by like a rubber ducky, then when he was a bit behind us, he would quickly jump up and fly with the utmost intensity to the starboard side of our boat, coming within a foot of our lifelines, land in the water, and then repeat.
Still no fish were caught today...I really hope we have better luck on our big 30-day passage next.
It looks like we'll be hitting the equator tomorrow night! Celebrations will be in order when we do!
Also, we are looking at a Sunday afternoon arrival in Galapagos!
