Timshel - Day 3 Dolphins and marauding cat(amaran)s



Days run 1300 - 1300 147.7nm. Broad reaching with main and yankee goosewinged for the whole time. Got a bit interesting/exciting during the night - decided when we were making 10 kts it was time to reef. Thought all the multihulls would have disappeared over the horizon by now but last night we were coming together with Sea Fantasy, the night before with First Step. Could also see the lights of Hejira (also on AIS)and in the morning when things had calmed down a bit could talk to quite a few boats by VHF (must be good reception conditions as some were 50 nm away) before the SSB schedule. Have also seen a couple of fishing boats who are not on AIS, and of course the dolphins at tea time yesterday! Also tried our first noon sight with the sextant though the sun was a bit hazy. NB Imported the 1200 position reports into Excel, can sort the data into a comprehensible table.
