Still making steady progress on day six, with the wind
veering a bit more so that we can turn a bit more to the right for a while. We
are pointing more towards the Azores now but run the risk of getting into the
middle of the Azores high, where there is little or no wind, if we stay on
this course too long.
Yesterday day evening at about 18.30, we had visitors. A
pod of dolphins came to play with the bow wave. I could see them clearly in the
sea and there was obviously a mother and calf with them. The calf was right by
it's mother's side no matter which way she went. Our speed and bow wave
couldn't have impressed them though, as they didn't stay long.
The fresh food is holding out although I did have to
throw a couple of carrots away yesterday. It's going to be stew for a few nights
more and then it's back to pasta and rice. It'll be a welcome
change.
