An excellent day and only half way
through, 79.5 miles travelled so far and all directly towards our
destination.
The weather forecast suggests the breeze that has
powered our progress this afternoon will die away around now (01.00) It has
certainly decreased but we are still managing about 4.5kts. It should redevelop
as a head wind in a few hours time and during this transition it will annoyingly
dance around coming from all directions and that coupled with the
swell makes for a frustrating few hours and all at a great time of day
!
It is a beautiful night though and with a visible
moon. A whole lot friendlier place than last nights inky black void. A pod of
Dolphins briefly visited us this evening and I think we got a few shots of them
leaping out of our bow wave. We are now in Whale country and it would be great
to catch a glimpse of one before our trip is over.
After a brief discussion we decided on Hot Chicken
Curry for last evenings supper so now we only have 24 cans of the stuff left- we
do eat well. Matt is talking more and more about the meals he is to have next
week - something tells me he's not yet convinced of the benefits of a least one
square curry a day.....
