Sally - 24 hours of wonderfull sailing



Fantastic sailing the last 24 hours. Moderate wind from a perfect direction and almost no waves. Slept like a baby last night, 8 hours of nonstop sleep and a lazy day with the same conditions. No sailing records but doing acceptable speed, think we have averaged 5.5 knots. The last night when Johan was on watch, we was visited by a whale. First sign was on the echo sounder that displayed a depth around 35 meters and after a while it displayed ”to deep” and Johan heard the sound of blowing whale 10-20 meters on SB side of Sally. Glad it didn’t surfaced closer. Today we have had a couple of more visits below Sally and now we are quite sure it is living animals below us when that happens. Some soundings have shown only 4 meters and we can only hope that it is smaller animals than whales. It get warmer each day, tonight it was 22 degrees and now we have 26 degrees making life on board quite nice.
We have sailed into a new time zone and turned back our watches one hour and are now 2 hours behind GMT.
Fair winds from crew on Sailing Sally
