On our return to the ship, we ate a pasta lunch which came in very handy after our
exertions of the morning and then we had a brief sketch class before heading into our
cabins for clean-up duties. At 4 PM, Clyde presented a slide talk on protective
coloration in the sea, using photos and research he had done on the Great Barrier
Reef in 1975 and 1985.
During afternoon tea, we had a huge treat - hundreds of Striped Dolphins were
porpoising alongside both port and starboard of the ship. They stuck with us for quite
a long time, long enough for Kay to get some excellent and impressive pictures of
their antics and for Patricia to win an argument with Craig over what kind of dolphins
they were. We ended with a roomful of people looking at Kay’s pictures and
exclaiming over them. Everyone wants them to be shown at Recap and lots of folks
want copies of them.
