After an amasing day yesterday the wind dropped off
to nearly zero and we had to motor most of the night - although flat seas and
clear skies made this a lot of fun still.
This morning only Pip and Lol were awake and were
treated to a visit from a pod of 7 Dolphins who played in the wake looking up at
Pip and Lol for photos. The rest of us were sad to have missed this and we have
been trying to spot more Dolphins all day - so far only wave crests and plastic
bags! We remain hopeful.
Another amasing day - 20+ degrees, sunny, F3-4 on
the beam, full main and asymetirc up and George (the autohelm) on. He is
doing a good job as we drink beer, listen to great music and enjoy the sun
in the cockpit. I am missing work !!!
The storm warnings in Rockall (northen east coast
of Spain) has subsided so we are headed for La Coruna on the headland of Spain -
ETA breakfast tomorrow morning.
Thats all - late lunch being served.
Worried that Vics thinks sailing is always this
much fun - perhaps it can be?
