Course -105 Degrees Speed – 11 Knots Day’s Run – 268 Miles
Weather – Mostly cloudy with confused seas
Wind – 16 knots from E
We did turn the corner and start heading more East than South and we saw our first Albatross. Its size stunning all that saw it. We are all keen to see some more of these massive, graceful birds. The sea and air temperature has continue to drop and now shorts and T-shirts are only for the brave. Fish are still proving to be scarce.
We continue to motor into the wind and hope that the forecasted SW winds will arrive tomorrow to help push us along and stop us rolling.
We are still on schedule to arrive late on the 15th December
