Next Step - Saturday 7th December 2019

Throughout the night the wind remained consistent and Dobby did a great job. In the early morning we had an oil tanker pass going West and a yacht that was not on AIS go behind us. A couple of days ago the folks on Summerwinds organised a short poem competition on the SSB forum for Group Alpha. Unfortunately, we did not win but congratulations to those who did. Our entry was prepared by David :-

Our Watt & Sea's packed up
Our water maker's leaking
We'd settle for a pod of dolphins
But it's really a whale we're seeking

This morning we were visited by a small pod of dolphins that played around on our bow wave for about 20 minutes and in the afternoon, David got his wish, we managed to spot a small whale not far from the boat. The weather was very pleasant during the afternoon but as the evening went on the weather got a bit windy and very squally.
