Today Caledonian Starguests are enjoying a day at sea in the calm  South Atlantic Ocean. We have been treated to a number of  interesting lectures - one by geologist Wayne Ranney regarding the  latest theories on how people may have come to the Americas, and the  other by natural historian Lyall Watson on new ideas in human evolution  (we also watched the classic movie African Queen). With mostly sunny  skies and the temperature a nice 74 degrees, many of us are reading out  on deck. At about 11:30 this morning 50 bottle-nose dolphins came over  to our bow and checked out our ship. Here we can see Captain Cardestig  and second officer Stefan Sörenson looking at the dolphins from the  bridge. The officers are always on the lookout for marine creatures of  any kind, and they rarely disappoint.
