of wind! We have been flying along under a 3rd reefed main and small jib.
Yesterday evening we had masses of dolphins charging around us and
jumping, for about 2 hours. Later on the Phosphorescence was brilliant
too. Now we are in cold water, it has changed. The lights burn for less
time and are smaller, but last night the quantity made up for that. Often
they were lying on deck, flashing!
It looks like we will have Easterlies in the channel after Ushant. That
will probably slow us down from our current pace a bit. We think that we
could get in as early as Midnight on Thursday, but its a bit early to tell
as we will have to see what the wind is like tomorrow.
All best,
