12.11.2021 – Good Morning from the Bay of Biscay!

Good Morning from the Bay of Biscay!

It’s another beautiful day on the water, and we have been enjoying the gradually warming weather. We have shed our foul weather gear and are looking forward to even warmer temperatures. The last couple of days have been extra special as there have been many porpoise sightings. Debate is ongoing whether these are actually porpoises or if they are dolphins, but either way these pods of up to 20 have been so fun to watch. They swim alongside the bow of the ship, catching waves, twisting, and jumping. We are expected to exit the Bay of Biscay later today and finally enter the Atlantic Ocean, which everyone is excited about!
