Day 42

Day 42 find us with some sun and a SW wind of 15 to 20 knots. Over the last few days we have had some good wind and been making miles of about 180 per day. The sun is a welcome sight though as the wind did bring grey overcast skies, rain, fog and cold. Added to this, as we progress north, we actually have nights now. Most of the voyage down below 55 South had a twilight but no dark, now we have about 7 hours darkness.

Wildlife remains as Albatross,Skua, Prion, Sealion, Dolphin and Whales. Today ,as I typed this update, as the first time I had ever seen albatross feeding at sea. Three of them fighting over a large bit of seaweed which probably had something tasty to eat living on it.

We have about 2000 nautical miles to go to Cape Town which, at our average speed, will mean about two weeks to go at sea.
