Their movement around the boat looked uncoordinated and clumsy, but when they took flight, they were definitely in control with an extraordinary amount of skill and grace. They don't have a pretty face, but their bodies and feathers were stunning. Their feathers were soft, yet felt sticky, as if they had oil on them. I must say, this is the first Pelican I've ever petted. Hey Cap, how 'bout taking it a few degrees to the left.
One even gave the captain some instruction on where to go. These magnificent birds wandered around the boat, making friends and posing for photos. It was the "Stripes show" for miles behind the boat.Īfter following us for miles, Stripes finally jumped aboard for a much needed rest.Īfter Stripes entertained us, two huge white pelican's came aboard. After a while, he became tired and jumped up on the boat's ladder for a little rest. The strangest thing was, I never saw him move a flipper, yet he kept right up with the speed of our catamaran. And then later, he followed in the boat's wake for miles. Stripes kept us entertained with his shenanigans for quite some time. Stripes, a young seal stopped by for breakfast. In fact, we had a special guest, a Walvis Bay seal named Stripes, who stopped by for breakfast shortly after we cast off. But our bags had to be ready to go at 8:00. I almost passed on this cruise so I could have an extra hour this morning. A small catamaran took us for Le Petit Pelican cruise of Walvis Bay. Packed and ready to roll this morning, but first we enjoyed a two hour cruise.
