Johanem - Johanem 10/6/13



Good winds last night at up to 30 knts allowed us to progress well, topping out at 10.3 knts, the good speed has however been countered by us having to go slightly the wrong direction, more North than ideal but the wind swinging round to the SW has improved direction to stop us heading to Portsmouth and more towards mid Portugal. I am being told, its only a minor issue!

A terrific dinner of bolognese and pasta in serious mans portions allowed us to mop up the frequent Beer o'clocks and of course the Fizz o'clock at 20,000 miles.

Minor sense of humor failure in the wee hours of this morning when I thought we had been transported to Ireland for a constant drizzle experience, this was definitely not in the brochure with promises of balmy starlight nights. However mid morning it all cleared and we are now able to soak up the sun with a few beers!

Lots of dolphins and porpoises, but not a fish in sight (at least not on our lines).

We are all waiting for Boo's first sighting of a whale, with a few false alarms, which nearly interrupted our dinner plans. But we live in hope, with spirits raised (or at least beers) and tummies full. Weather ahead looks good for the next few days, wonderful to be as far from the rigors of work as you can be.
