The ferry left the Waiheke wharf and—just as it should jet up to high speed—slowed. Frequent travelers who were away from the windows stood and looked out. I was sitting on the port side, at a freshly cleaned window. First I saw two sailboats, well heeled in the strong wind. Then I saw what the others were watching.
A pod of dolphins, a large group, were swimming right to my window. They slowed as they approached the ferry and the shipmaster had us moving forward, but at low speed to avoid a mishap. The pod passed behind us and swam on. The ferry accelerated to cruising speed. Nice way to start the day.
