Skyelark of London - Day 7



Day 7 Marks our first week at sea, and 1000 miles sailed on the log.
Another hot mostly sunny day, rigged for sailing downwind with light winds
and calm seas.
Plenty of action on the fishing front today, adding to our species count
with our first Wahoo. with several small tuna and Dolphin fish - all
returned.
Birdlife is scarce out here. with only an occasional Shearwater or Storm
Petrel.
Dolphins, Common Atlantic and Bottlenose. are almost a daily occurrence
riding the bow wave and if they appear after dark their trails are
spectacularly lit by the bio-luminescence.
A welcome saltwater shower to cool down rounded off the afternoon, followed
by Wahoo ceviche
and dinner.
Night watches are teeshirt and shorts affairs now in these latitudes - happy
days!
Richard
