[status] We motored past Norfolk Island this morning, looks like a pretty cool place to visit, maybe next time. We had one large, lone dolphin come out to welcome us and he stayed with us for about 10mins, playing at the bows, turning upside down to get a good look as us. We also found a dried squid upfront this morning, I wonder what was chasing it, must have been something big to jump up on to the boat.
We’ve been motoring all day, in very calm seas. Sasha made bacon and egg cupcakes for breakfast (after the croissants were eaten up), and then made banana and dark Toblerone chocolate muffins for afternoon tea. The steak is out and thawing nicely, we’ll eat that with some sautéed cabbage, and zucchini.
All well on board.

[weather] We had a stunning morning, and we were sunbathing on the nets, but about 2 hours ago we saw the clouds, and rain marked a wind change. Sou’westly 10knots (approx), 99% cloud. Sea state 0.5-1 metre swell, very calm. The baro did drop earlier today, but it’s back at 1021 again now.
