Endeavour III - Endeavour III

After wheying anchor with the good wishes of the people of Bermuda. The convict ship Endeavour III with her ragtag crew is on day 2 of her voyage to the new world, to this point the crossing has offered fair winds, but rough seas covering 160nm in a NNE direction. 

Having tacked a few times she found her rhythm although not comfortable.

1st mate Stuart broke out the whaling gear again, thinking of a sideline business and hooked what we think was a humpback but it got away!!

We were dead in the water for a while in the graveyard shift as the new fangled autohelm decided to shed a bearing but with a valiant team effort and myself getting into a tight space I never thought I'd return from, we repaired the problem and resumed our course into the ever higher waves finally losing sight of the fleet.
