Fast sailing yesterday and Lin has been happily reading her Kindle during
the day. We reluctantly reefed down overnight because of an expected
increase in squall activity which slowed things down a bit but better for the
off watch crew.
A couple of dolphins appeared off the bow at around 8 in the evening, one
did a couple of belly flops, and they left soon after. I think we were
going too slowly to keep them interested. Lin saw a tanker early this
morning - about 5 miles away according to the AIS. The first ship sighting
in 5 days.
Lin caught me blogging and getting Simon's weather. Note the shorts -
yeehaaa:-
