We are a few days past Kure Atoll right now but our experiences of the last day there are still with us. After our final dive we were on our way back to the ship when we happened upon a huge pod of spinner dolphins. We quietly slipped over the side of the boat with mask, snorkel, and fins, hoping they would come by to see what we were all about. We were not disappointed. We swam together for about 20 minutes before we decided it was time to head back to the ship to prepare for the next day. It was a truly magical experience. We are now several hundred miles south at Lisianski island and are looking forward to the final few days of this leg of the expedition. We have one more day here at Lisi, two more at French Frigate Shoals and then two days of transit back to Honolulu. The expedition so far has been amazing. I am sure the days ahead will not disappoint.
