Today is almost a repeat of yesterday - complete
with school of dolphins coming to play. They even managed to arrive at the same
time. Don't think they were the same school tho' cos the baby dolphin was
missing.
It is a real treat to be able to sit up on the bow
and watch as they jump and dive all around us. Almost a shame to think that
we'll be back to marina life in a few days time.
Still expecting to arrive on the 3rd. The wind is
not as strong but we have exchanged our squall rig for full genoa and main so
are still making good speed. The mizzen sail is no longer an option for us
since the boom overhangs the stern making it impossible to tack or gybe without
upsetting the Hydrovane. Normally this is not much of an issue but we are
getting more ships and so need to be free to manoeuvre at will.
Happy sailing!
