More Unexpected Visitors

This morning as work on the back deck was winding up with the last anchor secured, the Endurance 17 team was greeted by a huge pod of Pacific white-sided dolphins.  The dolphins joyfully swam along the starboard side of the ship, jumping over the ship’s wake, and winning the race.

It was a grand site.  Watch the video here to enjoy the show.
