Skyelark of London - Day 2

So the second full day into the ARC 2016 and we are settling into our
routines here on Skyelark. Up to now the winds have been very kind to us
with a nice gentle introduction to Ocean sailing.
The past 24 hours have been reasonably eventful. Yesterday a pod of Pilot
Whales past very close to the stern and today we had 2 pods of dolphin
playing around in the bow wave. As someone whose cruising ground is the
North Sea this is a great novelty. In fact just the temperature is a great
novelty!
We managed to pick up a discarded fishing net today. A good job we were
under sail rather than engine. Earlier we had managed to break the fishing
rod trying to land a big one. No, honestly! The recovered fishing net would
have been a poor substitute.
Winds are set to increase so progress should improve.
