[status] Beautiful sunny day yesterday; the multitudinous layers of fleece are starting to come off! We had a pod of small whales (largest was about thirty feet long) keep us close company (too close, really - as little as twenty feet from the boat at times!) last evening just about dusk; they stayed with us for just under an hour. The seas have calmed down, but never being quite satisfied we are now hoping for a bit more wind out of the SE! All is well with all on board.
