Today’s News
The fog stayed with us until early evening yesterday which made for a very dull day. The sea has been fairly flat and we are making good progress motor sailing. The days are getting longer and the sun is setting about 30 minutes later each day. Well, at least it would be if we could see it. This morning has been much brighter but still overcast and we are starting to see marine life. So far today we have seen 3 groups of dolphins and they have been too busy hunting to bother coming over to play with us. Now that we know there are fish in this sea we are hoping they might start biting. We have also had 2 whale sightings this morning. The first was over a mile away but the 2nd, a Humpback, was only 200 yards off our bow before finally lifting its tail and diving. At the moment we have the genoa out and 2 reefs in the main and are cruising along at a very comfortable 12.5 knots. Long may it last.
