Today’s News
Yesterday afternoon 2 humpback whales put on a spectacular show of breaching for us. We also had a lot of visits from dolphins and lots of seabirds.
Within minutes of the sun touching the horizon last night fog dropped in on us and we have been in it ever since. The wind and seas picked up around the same time making for a very bumpy, slow, sleepless night. We have been taking a lot of water over the decks and found a couple of new leaks in the deck. This morning we picked up a much needed 2 knot current to push us along and we are still being helped by it. Unfortunately it looks like we have 2 more days of this weather ahead of us.
