Well, yesterday I commented on how flat the sea was. Today it was absolutely amazing! Even the captain noticed, his noon day announcement included a comment on how visibility was the furthest he'd ever come across on the Black Sea - and how he could actually see ships over the horizon.

| The Black Sea. Yes.... this is a real picture taken from the deck of the Minerva. The sea really really was this amazingly flat. |
Another relatively leisurely day for us then, sat on the back deck in awe of the sea and toasting nicely under the glorious sunshine.
Our stowaways are still here, and today we got a noisy bunch of visitors who stopped on the ship for a few minutes. (The bird equivalent of a motor way cafe?) They spent a little while preening and chirruping away before they all took off again. Turns out they were Spanish Sparrows.

Peter's class was in the afternoon as usual and seemed to go well, then we were back out on deck, when we got to see a few dolphins leaping out the water towards us. Awesome!
Tomorrow we are visiting Constanta, Romania. We've not volunteered for tour escorting duties and we have a day to ourselves. I'm hoping the weather will be as good as it's been today and we can go to the beach. Fingers crossed eh?
