Out on the blue with a high pressure to our starboard and a low to port.
The low brought wet windy weather yesterday and last night, but the dawn greeted
us with tail winds of 15 knots, powder blue skies, puffy white clouds. Stunning
bioluminescence has graced the evening watch, and a brief visit by dolphin. Big
thanks to Joann and Norman for Jo’s jumper, keeping her quite cozy on night
watches along with the handmade Portuguese knitted hat. Big thanks to Linda and
Rory for the chutney, yummy yummy! The starboard gear box has dumped the oil
again, we have had it worked on 4 times now. Hopefully we can locate a good
engineer on Gran Canaria. Port engine working fine and the solar panels keeping
us charged up. We are humming along at 6-7 knots with only 170 miles left to
reach our destination. All is wonderful. |
