News:
Really starting to get the feel of higher latitude sailing at the moment,
grey skies and rain. It is unfortunate we couldn’t be further North at
this time to get the full effect of the Solstice, but each day of the trip
the days get longer and longer. Over the course of the night the interior
temperature of the boat has fallen to 52’F making it quite crisp.
Convincing even the last hold outs that we may have to change the air
conditioning over to heating, not a bad plan as it hasn’t been used in so
long we need to test it before the guests arrive. On watch we have yet to
see a ship for four days, occasionally birds are starting to appear along
with 2 pods of dolphins that came by this morning to wish us a safe trip.
