Northern Light II - Monday 27th November

Durning the night the winds speed did increase as expected to 21.5 knots so the decision to go to white sails was correct. No squalls yet….

We also had a few visitors in the night. During Geertje’s watch a small flying fish landed in the cockpit - luckily Geertje was alright. After Geertje I was on watch and suddenly I heard a thud in the cockpit - another flying fish had landed this time bouncing off the floor an going down the gap on on the swim platform . As daylight broke we found 2 more on the deck!

Stronger winds were forecast today so we have stayed on white sails which means we cannot take a direct course - the same is forecast for tomorrow,

Still no fish only weed caught today ! Another normal day otherwise with Sarah and Geertje finding the day on the coach roof listening to a relaxing meditation recording.

Until tomorrow

Michael
