Widago - Azores-Europe Leg: Day 6



All is calm and quiet out here. Really calm. Been motoring through flat glassy seas for a couple days now. Finally saw some marine life today, as we caught a glimpse of a playful pod of dolphin and more pilot whales. Last night at dinner, we had a pilot whale roll though only a few meters from the starboard hull. Just a bit too close for my comfort, but she seemed to have the distance all worked out.
Been playing lots of family Gin Rummy and backgammon. Took on the battle of the port hull staterooms and heads. Yuck, but now much better. Greatly decreased the mold, mildew, and dust bunny population over there. With the calm conditions, I've been "allowed" by Ahab to run laundry, which is a win-win for all of us. Gordon consistently has the biggest laundry pile.
Tomorrow just might have to be a baking day. Brownies? Oatmeal bars? Apple pie? Lots of great options to keep everybody happy.
