A full fat boy greasy breakfast followed sluggishly after a beautiful moonset then sunrise to reveal a fantastic sunny day with 15 (now 20) knots of WSW breeze. We now have the jib poled out to starboard and dry decks. More sax practice is a real possibility later.

 

Then came the dolphins with Andrew trying to become the boat's version of the 'Horse Whisperer' aka the 'Dolphin Tickler' with his arm held in the bow wave hoping for a feel. Teg and I were hoping that he might get a nip on the nose but no such luck. One of the crew has recently seen a fleet of sailing boats bearing down on us which soon turned out (without the aid of binoculars) to be ship with 3 derricks surprisingly close. Move over mate it's a big ocean.

 

CB has worked out how to use the remote on Keith's camera so here's proof that we are all here and smiling.

 

 

And one from couple of days ago when it was all a bit wetter.

 

 

Enjoy - we are - mostly.
