Spirit III - Day 3 - On the Breeze



Still on the Breeze...

Since Plymouth we have tacked twice soon after Ushant, but otherwise we have
been hard on the breeze on Starboard tack for most of the time. Having
drifted a little further east than we would have liked yesterday, we have
overnight been working to get back some West ground while still making some
south.

All four of us have in one way or another suffered from the on-going motion,
this morning however see's most of us starting to feel more with it and
probably hence the reason for this blog update.

Leaving Ushant yesterday a small bird, looked like a swallow(?!) spent a
good few hours with us on deck... it had first of all managed to fly
straight down the open companionway and took a lot of coaxing to remove!

Last night after crossing into deep water, the phosphorescence was like our
own private disco with some inquisitive dolphins providing some additional
light displays, seemingly wearing funky green neon...!

Plan for the next 48 hrs is to try and claw more west while still making as
much south as possible. The overnight forecast of SW F6 is not one to look
forward to, however the NW 4-5 come morning should see us making good ground
towards the cape.

Bye for now.

Keith
