The Four Traveling Sislers were sitting at table 525 enjoying supper as I glanced out the window behind Cathy. I saw what I thought was a creature swimming away, but the direction of its travel and the amount of time I saw it left me unable to identify our outside dinner guest.
Later, as we were enjoying dessert, the swimmer was heading back towards the ship from the opposite shore. This time I pointed it out to my trio of fellow eaters and we tried to determine what it was. We guessed seals and otters, because we had been told they were in the area. Then we decided it was two moose (Mooses? Meeces?). Then the swimmers turned dramatically, and angled sharply towards the shore. It was not a moose or two. Not a seal. Not an otter. It was a fishing boat. And that may explain why we are tourists and not wilderness guides!
Okay It’s Me
It was quite amusing. Four adults looking at a moving object in the water and being so mystified and so wrong. No wonder people think they see UFO’s.
It did provide us with amusement as we ate dinner. We did have a good time. I am writing this one week later so it is hard to remember everything.
