Just had a motifying realisation that we will not
get to the Azores until Tuesday maybe Wednesday - looks like we will have
to share our champagne with Mum and Amy! Although to be fair I am not sure
champagne is going to do the trick...a bottle of vodka might do
it!!
Wildlife watch update
Unfortunately not had any recent sightings, I think
it is because we are beating and it seems to be when we are going downwind that
the dolphins like to play at the bow. (Goodness I bet Attenborough did not have
to deal with these kind of problems!)
We are beating into a SW F3/4, we tacked so that we
are much closer to our course and are able to make 255 degrees - which feels
less demoralising as it feels like we are making definate progress towards the
Azores. We have had to change the screen on the GPS so that we cannot see every
time we go down how much further we have got left! After over 24 hours of
beating it is getting a bit tiring, just moving from one side of the boat to the
other feels like you are doing an assault course, in particular climbing across the monkey bars that you used to have in parks.
