Jambo - Totally becalmed but we have a visitor!



2.5 knots of wind and 1000 miles from anywhere so it's engine on
Our weather router tells us we will get wind next Tuesday- gulp ! We hope he is wrong as the fuel will run out before then. We had a very jolly chat with a Frenchman in a Yacht on its way up from St Martin and he thought we would get usable wind a "little sooner" , whatever that meant

It seems almost surreal to be this far from civilisation in mirror glass waters but yesterday evening we had a wonderful experience as we heard the noise of a large whale as it blew out alongside Jambo as she made her way in the opposite direction - they look so majestic.I quickly grabbed my whale book and decided it was probably a Minke whale or a small Fin back whale which can grow up to 24 metres. This visitor was about the size of Jambo - anyway we brought the fishing line in quickly !

Nick is galley bitch today and planning something to attack our tastebuds!
