White Whisper - day 4



All going well here spinnaker flying now in light easterly winds (8-12kts) for the past 48 hrs, with only one "Bang" around 23.30 Tue evening as the sheaf block holding the guy on the end of the pole broke, we rerouted the guy the traditional way trough the pole end and all is working fine.
Last night started with a full sky of stars, as the moon appeared on the East light levels increased blocking out the smaller stars but soon the constellation of Orion started rising just below the moon and as the night progressed tracked its way across our path and setting in the West after Sunrise. A shooting star crossed Orion's belt before midnight.   
The North star with its pointers Ursa Major and Cassiopeia rotated anticlockwise as we progressed from dusk to dawn.
Only one White sail visible ahead this morning going closer to South west than our present heading of 250 deg.
Early before dawn we saw our first Aircraft flying towards Africa on the early morning run, they say there's more to life than Aero planes ! yes I do agree. 
Sean & Eamonn.
