Ocean Blue - Ocean Blue - It doesn't get much better - except the ones that got away
You couldn't ask for much better sailing than we have had over the last few days. The trusty Parasailor has been the only sail we have had set and it has propelled us along day and night with ease. The wind speed is varying quite a lot but has remained just sufficient to keep it flying despite the small swells we are encountering. When the wind picks up the speed is blistering. The sun is hot during the day and the nights balmy. The night skies are an amazing array of stars and planets with many shooting stars or meteorites to add to the fun. As for the sea, its an amazing deep clear blue with fluffy little white caps when the breeze picks up.
The fishing line has been out, but no fish have been landed yet, though two have been hooked and lost - must try harder. We have just had a large pod of dolphins play around the boat, we have just under 600 miles to go, Lesley has been making sorbet and yoghurt so all is good aboard Ocean Blue.
I am now on watch so that's it for today.
Derek, Lesley and Pete
