Since yesterday afternoon calm and sunshine make life on
board very pleasant. We named the little bird Peppi and really enjoyed its
company, such a tame little creature, coming sitting on us
and staying down below feeling very at home. Soon after, a little robin
joined our social life and both birds lived in total harmony with us. The
greatest effort being made on our behalf, not to squash them. Peppi was a super
fly hunter to our delight and we were sad when he flew off in the evening. Robin
is still here, being a little more reserved but still cleaning up our crumbs
down below and watching us. Dolphins have been with us through the night, their
dark silhouette arching over the waves in the moonlight. We are
still sailing with the hydrovane and everything is very peaceful and
quiet. we are now getting ready to get the cruising chute out and sail down
the Spanish coast to Bayona, where we hope to meet Steve and Carol, if they are
still there. About 60 NM to go!
