Day 5 Thursday 13th November .
Bright morning beautiful sunrise.
Yesterday evening on my watch I saw at 21.30 a blinking
yellow light 5sek apart on our starboard side maybe 3miles away, We think it
must have been a buoy of some sort.
This morning 3 flying fish on the deck , and a dead whale
floated by with lots of seabirds on him less than half a mile away on our
starboard.
Other sightings Blue plastic barrel floating by.
Lots of flying fish in flocks flying low over the water
like their being chased.
We rigged the boom for the Genaker and have sailed
Gooswing all day and still the Catamaran Lir we saw in the morning on our port has now
disappeared on the horizon in front of us.
We have 247 miles to
go at 1700hrs today, so we probably will not arrive until Saturday morning in
Cape Verdes
Everyone is well on board,
Hugur.
