"I'm just going down
below to get some shut eye," said Dan.
" I bet we see a whale whilst your asleep" I
said, fifteen minutes later whilst sailing along
on a beam reach at 7 knots under bright blue skies with Lanzarote in the
distance I spotted my first ever sighting of a pilot whale which was cruising
lazily along some 50 m away from Phoebe B. This sighting was confirmed by Tony
and Sue.
Sue is mother today and was planning what to
cook yesterday. We have already had fresh baked cheese scones with coffee at 11.
Lunch consisted of Calzone pizza and salad. This evenings meal is to be Chicken
wrapped in ham with ginger chilli and garlic, new potatoes and green
vegetables (whatever can be salvaged from the fridge).
We hope to arrive in Rubicon (Lanzarote) this
evening in time to wash all this fine food down with a cool beer from the
nearest bar.
