Welcome Aboard! Is what you say to your visitors!

The emphasis here is on "most", especially, those who come to visit with a "six-pack" in their hands... :-)

But, there are other kinds of visitors, which come and stop by. Most of the times, it is just a quick visit, like, when dolphins come to play in your bow wake for a few minutes, which is always great fun to watch. At other times, the visit may last a little bit longer. Especially, when birds do visit. When you are at sea and a bird lands on your yacht, it does usually mean that the bird is exhausted and looking to rest. They may stay for an hour, a day and sometimes even longer. The smart bird heads right down below, where it is cozy and warm and bread crumbs can be found or will be offered. Plenty of stories about such visits can be found on the net. The guy (or gal?) shown in the photo came to rest for just a little bit and then flew off again. He was not much of a talker, either.
