Dolphin Watch

After four days I feel that I am starting to settle down, and understand the routine.  Routine is all on board here, there is little time at either end to do other than follow the script.  We have explicit check lists that are followed on each docking and departure, despite it being the same each time it is easy to forget if all the items have been carried out.  Well it is for the writer.

Glorious weather again today, the sunset over Mull was straight of a chocolate box, it could have been a July evening rather than January.  I had a school of dolphins following along for a while, I thought that they would have departed south for the winter?  We had a lot of round trip passengers during the day, they had just come along for the ride to look at the scenery, like being back on the Waverley.
