This afternoon it is quite warm, we had rain in the
night, one lightning storm that passed to the north and some showers that came
right over us. We didnt get a lot of really good sleep last night.
Now the sun is out and unfortunately the wind has died away. Northing ever
lasts forever though, we hope! We have 1600 miles to go to
Martinique.
We had a pod of dolphins swim by the other day,
they did a few acrobatic flips for us, we have also seen a few seabirds, some
quite small. A seagull flew by and checked out the boat and then flew
away. I just saw a small, about 12 inches, stripey fish living under the
bow of the boat. I think he was enjoying our shade. I also saw pass
us by at a distance two buoys for marking fishpots, we're a long way from land
so they must have come lose, it was a strange sight, these big pink balls in the
middle of the Atlantic.
More in a few days time.
