Jubilate Mare - Second day highlights



We had a super day’s sailing. With the wind dropping off we chose to fly the cruising chute. A great decision - we’ve added good speed and it makes the Atlantic a more colourful place. Winds looking good for the next 36 hours so it’s safe overnight.

Weather was perfect, warm with a pleasant breeze and we had dolphins playing around the boat. Caribbean humidity has disappeared.

Dozens of Portuguese Man of War jelly fish were also sighted. They appear as very clear glass bubbles about the size of a football floating on surface. Thanks to several other boats for telling us what they were! Did you know that their tentacles can be as long as 12 metres - doesn’t really bear thinking about, does it?!

Our trusty captain cooked clam chowder for the crew supper; enjoyed by all in the cockpit whilst listening to Queen or was it T Rex? blasting out from the speakers. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring. Ralph McTell maybe?
