Overnight, the seas calmed. We were treated to deep blue, glassy seas with a small swell for most of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed time on the deck with beautiful clouds and a few rainbows. Some flying fish were spotted, but the seabirds were the highlight for me. We observed sooty terns, jaegers, and red-footed boobies, but the tubenoses were the best. We also spotted a few rare Vanuatu petrels, along with other petrels and many wedge-tailed shearwaters. After a delicious dinner, it was time for the one and only National Geographic Orion crew show!
