Steady south westerly 10-15 knots all day
continuing tonight, fantastic. flew the spoinnaker for the first time today for
10 hours, beautiful sailing. Saw a pod of whales either sperm or fin, two
crossed our bows withing about 50 yards, abit close for comfort bu what a sight.
Then later we had a couple of dolphins swimming along at the bow. Bloody
hot today , we fried in the midday sun. Burnsy cooked up a nice cheese and
tomato omelette tonight , very good and a nice change from pot mess. Weather
outlook good but may get 30knot winds on Friday; gonna air the storm jib
tomorrow, make sure we know which way up she goes. Great sunset tonight and now

2am!
