We
have seen lots and lots of sea, last night was the darkest night I have ever
seen - no moon, no clouds - you couldn't tell where the horizon was.
However, we did get to see lots of phosphorescence in the water - there was a
great sparkling wave out of the back of the boat from the rudder - that was
quite strange. We saw no other boats at all
yesterday - that was of course until it got dark when a fleet of trawlers
appeared from no where over the horizon. It has been getting warmer as we
have headed south - this morning I have woken up to a bright blue sky (although
unfortunately no wind) - Adam has now gone to bed for a few hours. No more
whales unfortunately - but more Dolphins yesterday,
We
hope to have reached our destination by midday tomorrow - just trying to decide
whether to go to LaCoruna or Ribedea depending on how strong the winds look like
around the corner of spain.
We
had both our electric generator (duo gen) and our water maker on yesterday - so
we were making power from the motion through the water and fresh water from the
sea water - I think that is quite good.
