The crew of the seaQuest sat on the beach at Pearl Harbor. It was rare to have time off at a time when there wasn't really enough time to go home, but there was plenty of time to watch some dolphins play in the surf, or take a dip in the ocean. Lucas and Ben were about waist deep in the water, jumping as waves came up to them, and squatting most of the time. The waves were large; it was nearly high tide. It was just a refueling stop, but it felt great to breathe the natural air, and watch the sunset together. A few people had run into town to find a beer or three, but the majority of the crew was on the white sandy beaches of the newest beach city in the country. Even Darwin was off for the time being. He swam up next to Lucas and Ben and chattered happily. Lucas laughed, "hey Darwin," he said, petting the dolphin's melon, and eliciting more happy chatter from the mammal. Darwin ducked his head under the water, and came up with a fish. Lucas laughed. "Gotta eat, huh, Darwin?" he asked. The dolphin nodded, or maybe he was just swallowing his fish.
