Since our last entry we have started to see more vessels than we have previously in our cruise. After an uneventful night we have seen some lobstermen out to tend their pots, though their boats are rather bigger than those customarily seen in Scotland (as always seems to be the case with things this side of the Atlantic). We’ve also seen a new type of seagull though as usual we have no idea what it is. There has been talk on the VHF as well, which we haven’t heard in some time.

 

The wind, which has been on the weak side of the rigging since about midnight, has thankfully been quite light and we are making good time. Daddy is currently on deck having a wash and I’m soon to follow so. We have put this off for a while as fresh water was running a little low, but now we are closer to land we feel that is is perhaps necessary.
