Only 150 miles to go to our destination in
Sardinia. We have had a good days sail. The winds have been alittle stronger
than forecast and we managed to fly our Spinnaker for around 5 hours making
good progress to the north west and the Costa Smeralda coastline. Another 24
hours and we should be insite of land. We had company today for a few hours when
a small 30ft sail boat crossed our path heading north. Looked like a single
hander, we could only make out one person on deck. We tried to make radio
contact, but no answer. Looked like an Italian flag, may be heading into the Bay
of Naples on the Italian mainland. We currently have two small birds hitching a
lift to land. We have had to chase them out of the cabin on a couple of
occasions. Friendly enough but currently refusing bread and water. This happens
alot when at sea you get small birds that have lost their way or been blown
out to sea seaking a place to rest and find land. Another Dolphin sighting
today, played around the boat for just a few minutes and then off. Looking
forward to sighting land and a full nights sleep.
