Title: Life on Little Blue trans atlantic day 5

29:11 23:49.396N 21:04.667W
 
Ahhh. Dawn again and another beautiful day in paradise.  Barbara here doing the dawn patrol.  Now I'm sure I've said this before but I don't think I could ever get bored of staring at the sea.  the air hear has an incredible clarity which seems to make the early morning sky white and multicoloured at the same time - pink, purple, orange, gold, and oh yes, blue.
 
We have been rolling along ast a very relaxed 4 kts for this morning and most of yesterday.  At this rate we should hit st Lucia some time in the middle of next march.  trouble is we might have run out of chocolate and DVD's by then.  This situation is not helped by family members sending us jolly e-mails asking why we are sitting in the least windy part of the Atlantic?  Well mr geographical mapping guru, if you're so clever, why don't you tell us where the wind is cos I think we know where it isn't.
 
Right well.  Can't be sitting around here all day, got things to do.  there's wildlife spotting - 5 birds and almost a whale (it was a long way off and we only saw the spout - 10 points to Kevin) bracing sea water shower, except that it's not that bracing when the sea water temperature is 27 degrees, and definitely 10 points to my friend Lief who suggested that I bring proper salt water shampoo it's great!, then there's lots of books to read, Spanish lessons, and this afternoon I thought I might go for a walk.
