Birthday on board! Unfortunately the one thing she wanted for her birthday is not yet being delivered-Wind! We were promised 19kn this morning on the forecast. A full day and night of motoring with a couple of breaks drifting for Diana to get some sleep. Also a brief stop for a lovely swim.
It is an amazing experience to be drifting along in a glassy sea with the flying fish creating patterns and a once a dolphin performed somersaults for the Birthday girl. The colours of the setting sun in a cloudless sky and then stars that overwhelm ones sense of finite and the just past full moon then made its starring appearance, almost too bright to look directly into its enigmatic face.
But now please send some wind!
