Day Eight
No location recorded
"We had fish for breakfast and Reggie is preserving one of the wings of the fish. The weather continues fine and we have a good breeze. We have had a quiet day.
There were hundreds of porpoise by the ship today. They can travel at a tremendous pace. The water was alive with them. They were speeding along and jumping clear of the water looking very nice and graceful. We lost our harpoon a little while ago while trying to harpoon a large dolphin so we had no means of catching them as they will not take a hook. We also saw some large whales spouting forth large volumes of water."
