We sailed all day yesterday, which was nice.
During the night we had the motor on again to get us through the strong current
of the Gulf Stream, which we had to cross. We are now sailing again gently and
hope to arrive at Chesapeak tomorrow morning.
We had 6 False Killer Whales around the boat in
the afternoon. They did not stay long enough for a photo. They are a bit like
oversized dolphins. They are playful and like to ride the bow wave. We were
probably not going fast enough for them. Beautiful creatures about 6m
long.
Then early this morning we had some bottlenosed
dolphines swimming with us for a short time. They were bigger than the ones in
the med.
That was the excitement for the last 24 hours.
