Predawn Play

It's 6 am Majuro time and the sky is just beginning to brighten to the east, creating silhouettes of the cumulus clouds that dot the sky. A morning star peaks through, bringing hope of a fine day. Suddenly there's a splash and I catch sight of a fish (???) jumping. But NO, I realize it's a dolphin shooting skyward and flicking its tail and falling back into the sea. Again, it jumped and, perhaps content I'd seen it's gleeful display, disappeared into the dark waters below.

At 6/1/2012 and 18:07 UTC (GMT) our position was: 06°47.22'S / 172°08.88'E.
We were traveling 176T degrees true at 3.6 knots.
