Hugur - downwind sailing Day 5



Day 5 Thursday 13th November .

Bright morning beautiful sunrise.

Yesterday evening on my watch I saw at 21.30 a blinking yellow light 5sek apart on our starboard side maybe 3miles away, We think it must have been a  buoy of some sort. 

This morning 3 flying fish on the deck , and a dead whale floated by with lots of seabirds on him less than half a mile away on our starboard.

Other sightings Blue plastic barrel floating by.

Lots of flying fish in flocks flying low over the water like their being chased.

We rigged the boom for the Genaker and have sailed Gooswing all day and still the Catamaran Lir we saw in the morning on our port has now disappeared on the horizon in front of us.

We have 247  miles to go at 1700hrs today, so we probably will not arrive until Saturday morning in Cape Verdes

Everyone is well on board,

Hugur.
