After an interesting first night onboard Nijinsky,
Wednesday morning has been a much calmer affair. Visibility is good and the sun
has just started to come out from a cotton blanket of cloud.
Head Chef Ho's corned beef and sausage sandwiches, for
lunch, have gone down very well.
At next watch rotation, we will be looking into putting
the yankee on the pole, to see if we can make it goose wing.
Most importantly, we think that we are traveling
fast enough to alter our initial course for A Coruna to Camarinas. This means we
should be able to sneak around Cape Finisterre before our weather window closes.
