31 - "Despite the full moon, the sea and sky blurred in a creamy fog both eerie and radiant. Small green bioluminescent creatures flashed from the shallows. Whales glittered as they surfaced, and the moon seemed only their reflection. Close to shore, a right whale blew loudly. Another whale sneezed. The hydrophone picked up a stretched meow. No orcas were calling, but many right whales sighed and bleated through the pallid fog under the brilliant moon. Shivering, we decided to call it a night and returned to our tents and huts for a chilly sleep."
