Today’s News
While we were still in the lee of Lanzarote we passed very close to 2 Sperm whales. Unfortunately we had sails up by then and couldn’t slow down. Out of the lee of the island we had 20′ (6m) swells from the NW making for a very rolly night. This morning the seas have flattened a bit but it is still very rolly. Luckily there is favorable winds and we are making good speed towards the Straits of Gibraltar. Way too fast and rough for fishing though.
