I have tried to film the dolphins under water while sailing, by sitting on the swimming platform, holding my camera under water with one hand and holding the boat with the other. Obviously, I also attached myself to the lifeline. However, the dolphins are so quick, I have only managed to extract some stills from the footage in which they are visible. I'll try to do a better job next time..
When I woke up from a short nap on the aft-deck, I found the cabin was filled with smoke! It appeared the external cool water intake had clogged. I still don't quite understand how smoke could have come into the engine room though, but fortunately the system resumed working correctly after I cleaned the filter and opened and closed the valves a couple of times. Naturally, the incident happened at a very inconvenient moment: while motoring a few miles off the shipping-lane at Cabo Raso, with fog with a visibility of less than 50m and no wind.

Thick fog descended over the boat shortly after sunrise
