Hi All,
We had a lovely day yesterday. The wind was at about 100 degrees to the boat allowing us to reach at around 9knots all day.
We are making good ground with 197 nautical miles covered in the last 24 hours.
Kieran has gotten his sea legs and was back up on deck which was great!
We held our course a few degrees high of our bearing to the canaries, as today the wind has gone forward.
We are still practising "sustainable fishing", which in short, means we have a small trawlers worth of fishing gear hanging from the stern, however, are yet to get a bite!
We had several dolphin sightings, as well as a few evening whales.
As far as rations, life is tough - Liam was forced to break out the bread maker, and we were forced eat lasagna and green salad for dinner - the sea-faring life is truly tough. The liquorice is being quickly consumed, the first fruitcake has already been devoured, and a sliver of two lemon cakes.
Today the plan is to motor beat through Biscay, and hopefully by midday
tomorrow, be in the Portuguese trades, which will take us the rest of the
way!
