60 miles out from La Coruna and an ETA at about
05:30 on Monday morning.
Today has been a day all about dolphins. Literally
hundreds of them from first light until dusk. Dancing in the bow wave, jostling
with each other to get in the best position. Enchanting animals and lovely to
watch.
We turned the engine off for 5 hours this afternoon
and sailed at a rather genteel 3 knots, but it has been a beautiful day to
bob about in a boat and it meant our arrival time in La Coruna will be more
sensible.
No fish despite a whole day of trying with various
different squid lures.
Possible sighting of an Orca. We saw a whale
blowing and Jeremy saw a flash of white and black. We don't know if they live in
the Bay of Biscay, but for now at least we are claiming an Orca (from a long way
off)
