After some lite wind conditions yesterday afternoon, the
wind picked up to 16 - 20 kts and remained there until now. We are making good
progress along the rhumb line. Skies are clear and the sun is shining. The
highlight of yesterday afternoon was a spectular show by some spotted dolphins.
At first there were three or four…then dozens surrounding the boat. These
aboslutely beautiful creatures entertained us for twenty minutes as the leaped
acrobatically into the air and charged the boat's wake so close we could look
into their eyes. It's as if they know they're entertaing us. Incredible!
Early this morning while I was napping…Brad, Rui, and Ryan
spotted a sperm whale (15 -20 feet in length). No new fish catches to report.
Dinner last night was Spanish Chourizo with green peppers and onions on a bed
of Mediterrainean Rice. Desert was fresh Pineapple.
Later today we will reset our clocks as we pass thru a time
zone. We will be one hour closer to time back home. At present we are five
hours later and soon that will change to four (same time zone as the Azores).
All is well on board. We still have two boats in sight and
six on the AIS screen.
Until Tomorrow.
