The wind filled in this morning after motoring for
18 hours and now we are cracking along. Not quite the right direction but the
wind will veer round later and take us there. We should now have really good
sailing for the next 48 hours although we will have a front tomorrow aafternoon
which will carry a lot of rain.
Yesterday evening, just before supper, we were
visited by a group of spotted dolphins. No spectacular jumps but it was great to
see them swimming 6 to 8 abreast just by the bow. Lying on the trampoline at the
front we were just a few feet away, above them.
High cloud today giving hazy sunshine so Greg's tan
lines will not get any development for the time
being. |
