A very comfortable night with poled out headsail, speeds of 11.5 knots and
now a broad reach to Finisterre. The Watt and Sea hydrogenerator has proved
amazing, especially now with more constant speeds. We have fully charged
batteries and have only run the generator for 1 hour since leaving
Falmouth.
Yesterday afternoon, sailing with a pod of dolphins playing with us, two
huge backs rose up in front of Ghost, blowing as they surfaced!! We altered
course and had the pleasure of these two for about 30 minutes, although apart
from the initial sighting all we got after that was the ‘steam’ from them
blowing. Hence no photo. |
