46:59 N 11:18 W  Baro 1018.1, W NNW 9-11 Kt, C40C. We have been on this settings since 2300 hrs last night. Yesterday was a day of tacks, chasing wind and suitable course. Too far west on the N course and too far S on the E course. We had been ploughing into stopper swell for quite some time, OK now. Whales this morning, the highest exhalation I have seen.
