Ngahue IV - One empty sea - one beautiful sunset



As we move into our 3rd night at sea, we really are at the back of the fleet. This morning we could see the top of Selkie's mast. But since this afternoon our horizon has been completely empty. Not a ship in sight! We can pick up 2 other Class B AIS vessels some 35 Miles away. That's way over our horizon though!!

We can see lots of Portuguese Men-of-War floating by, and this evening there even was a lost seabird circling around the boat. Heavens only knows where the flying fish are, as during the daytime you hardly see one. Usually just one, and not as on our East-West Atlantic crossing in whole schools.

The sun is setting very beautifully and it is giving the sea an extra dimension of dark blue. So a perfect setting for another wonderful night.

Only down side: the wind has given up on us and our Volvo-Penta is quietly humming away to give us 5 knots of speed to search for better wind in the higher latitudes...
