Rain seems like a distant memory and after a full day of sun and blue sky further served to expunge any evidence that of yesterday’s sporadic sogginess. We took full advantage of the weather and after scouring the clear horizon spotted whales and dolphins. Our afternoon was spent hiking and kayaking amongst the evergreen trees with the occasional yellow deciduous punctuation mark. Back aboard National Geographic Quest and sailing south, it starts to feel like we’re finally settling in to our floating home away from home.
