I was relaxing (the first mate performed my daily morning fur combing) after my night watch that was preceded by tough day of sailing - we had to motor four hours of the seven hour journey and thats unpleasantly noisy during my daily nap time.
My relaxation was interrupted by sudden activity in my and in the neighboring boat's masts: There were several very fast objects. I reached first via the hatch but situation required me to move to the deck. It took at least an hour to make sure the situation calmed down. The first mate informed me that these fast flying birds were swallows that congregate to prepare for their travel to the South for the winter.
