Course 028’T Speed: 11.5 Knots Days Run: 278Miles (23 Hours, time change)
Weather: Grey and overcast Wind: 320’T 8 Kts
News:
Timoneer motor sailed throughout the evening as the wind dropped below 10 kts for the entire 23 hour period. The amount of daylight at these high latitudes it is pretty amazing, I come off watch at 22:00 and it is still daylight. The sun sets at about 23:00 and rises just after 04:00 with lots of twilight in between. With the exception of a whale sighting and several dolphins coming to play in the wake there hasn’t been a lot of action other than cleaning and trying to keep warm.
