Another evening, after dinner, a group of Dall's porpoises amuse themselves with our bow waves for over an hour. The water here is an emerald green in the afternoon sun and the porpoises are a striking black and white. Dall's porpoise is the fastest porpoises in the sea. They are very beautiful and graceful. The Chief Engineer leans way over the railing to take a video of them Be careful! Don't fall overboard!!
