Captain Scott's Log ~ Tuesday, July 29, 2008 2:00 PM

Subject: P Dream becalmed

Now 108 hrs of engine time since leaving Japan. Also some sunshine today. Yesterday we motored around a seal. Today we had a pod of dolphins play with us for hours. Never saw this variety before. Orca coloring, small dorsal fin, and very curious. If we stood on the transom, they would collect behind the boat. Nearest land is Kamchatka Pen 580nm away--this extends down from Siberia. The closest Aleutians are 600 away. Commander’s weather has routed us south to be on right side of the next low. We have a swell building from the south which we hope means wind will follow.
