Island Kea II

Steve and Katrin Everett

Sat 20 Aug 2011 08:43

position 40:59N 08:49W

We had an interesting night last night. On my (Katrin) watch there was a very confusing vessel which seemed to be heading straight for me. This resulted in a turn round and eventually they spoke english on ch16 and it turned out that they were doing a survey which envolved towing 10 50 metres cables accross the sea.

This was the guarding ship. Funnily we would have been fine on our course if I had not changed it to avoid the guarding vessel in the first place.

We had a bit of rain last night and it is cold at night now.

We hope to be in Pavoa de varzim (nr Porto) this afternoon
