Tuesday 27

Caught a dolphin fish at 1030 to much excitement from the crew.  Cleaned and put in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch. 
10+ Dolphins come out to play later, with Abi and Barry beating on the hull encourage them.

          
       



Forward locker found to be damp so the sun used to dry the sails and we practice flying the cruising chute to dry it completely.




The forecast E15 wind doesn't materalise.  A small bird nicknamed Biggles arrives looking tired and thirsty.  Good entertainment until he flies inside the cabin and through the back through a hatch open for stowing sail and disappers into the steering gear.  Cue Abi & Colin to go in and chase him out for the next half an hour or so!

Weds 28th October

Tried the sails again for a while, but not much help at all.  Crossed the Greenwich Meridian at 0851 local time.  Best school of dolphins possibly 20 turn up in the afternoon and videoed.  Arrive to the dramatic entrance to Cartagena at 1700ish.  

            

                                                                                                                                Great meal out - Tapas and plenty of beer.

Prep the boat to sail as soon as we have the wind we need.  Possibly tonight, but looking like tomorrow now.
