The rainy morning started with a win on wet sand, as Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor clinched gold in beach volleyball, keeping their ludicrous 108-game winning streak safe.

Pointed black fins and huge wet backs surrounded the plane in a companionable way. A mother whale and her calf bobbed by. The pilot watched in awe with his passenger.
