Saturday were supposed to be visiting the port of East London, South Africa. However, because of strong winds, our visit was cancelled because it was too dangerous to enter the narrow entrance because of the cross winds. The harbor pilot did come out. but shortly afterwards the captain announced that we would be cancelling the port. We sailed more slowly to our next port of Port Elizabeth.
As we were approaching the East London, we saw number of dolphins.

The sun appeared above a bank of clouds on ther horizon.
Strong winds were creating large whitecaps
The shoreline near East London. Many large sanddunes were visible
Dolphins racing at the bow of the pilot boat
The surf crashing onto the shore
These were jumping in front of the pilot boat.
Northern Gannets were flying around us.

Looking straight down into the water near the bow, I saw more dolphins.
