Salamander - All Quiet



We're motoring along quite happily. The sun is beginning to set and the sky is ablaze with vibrant hues of orange and red. The sea is calm and the wind is low

Then Silence. The engine stops. We are now drifting!

We've just gone through the 300nm to go marker.

Chris dived into the engine room and quickly assessed the problem and within an hour the engine is back running again. Genius!

This brief moment allowed us to watch the sun set and the full moon to rise. In quiet eerie silence. 

The path a full moon casts on the sea is one of the most magical scenes you can ever witness. Tonight just below the moon we can also see Mars, also shining brightly.

The crew were so confident in Chris's ability no one expressed any concerns whatsoever. Sometimes these moments are to be savoured. We slowed down down, stopped and appreciated how beautiful our situation was.

A pod of dolphins came to enquire and stayed a few minutes. How beautiful can a moment be?

Thanks to Chris we are on our way again and have slotted back into our watch routine. Slowly ticking off the miles towards St. Lucia and seeking out Mary the flag lady.
