This tea tastes of fish!...Our crewman Skippy doesn't complain about much but he thought he would mention the tastes in his tea after 3 cuppers that weren't up to the mark. Source of the problem soon traced to a piece of smoked salmon resident in kettle. strange things happen at sea!
Slow frustrating progress but the wind is now in the east as per our weather forecast. The code zero is flying in the warm sunshine; and so are the fish (huge clouds of flying fish bursting forward together and racing away up wind) The dolphins came to visit again - the kids say they are Atlantic spotted dolphins.
the sea has settled quite a bit and we hope the wind is here to stay.
we are still catching up on our sleep but things much more settled today
