Steaming along ... North East

Position 35N13 046W53

 

What a wonderful day. WE ARE PAST HALF WAY.

 

After seeing a turtle, a shark and a ship yesterday, today we saw a pod (?) of pilot whales. Unfortunately we couldn't get good pictures due to the distance. We also altered course to investigate an orange buoy and radar reflector floating in the water. No idea what it's for, but there was no need for further action. Several of the other boats reported seeing such things at  various  locations.

 

The wind is light here. So we're heading northeast in an attempt to get to 35N and some westerly 15 knot winds. Just to make it interesting, we're doing it under spinnaker.

 

We think we have fixed the SSB radio problem - we may have put everything back to default when we took it apart last time !  

 

Just had the radio net and we actually got through - quite quietly though. But it's progress.

 

Thanks to all who have sent us messages to the boat and via the blog.

 

More soon
