So yesterday was lovely, blue skies, lots of sun, calm seas! We were accompanied by 4 homing pigeons hitching a lift for about 3 hours, they and dolphins are the extent of our wildlife encounters in the last 24 hours.

Early last night we were greeted by lots of phosphorescence, or sea sparkles as some have taken to calling them (Roisin?!)

Last night was a little bit more challenging with the winds and seas picking up. While on watch at about 0345 this morning the Dream Team reefed the main just as the winds increased – great call! We have been on a broad reach now for almost all the trip – how good is that??? Entertainment last night included an episode of Modern Families – how apt!

Currently we have 117nms’ to go and are running at a steady 7kts. At that rate we will be entering harbour 2.5 hrs before dawn tomorrow so the Skipper may choose to slow down to enter in daylight….!  Feels like its going to be another fast day today with white caps starting to appear.
