I came on watch at 0600 to be greeted by no less than 10 Short tailed Sherwaters circling around us, these wonderful migrating birds seem to have adopted us. A freindly black browed albatross cruised by for a look, they always look at you as they gracefully soar past, never turning there aerodynamic heads.
It is glassy calm and we are using the Yanmar to push us East,you could be in your kayak out hereand its 5500 metres deep! There is a big high and we are in the middle of it, we are expecting a NW wind to fill in by noon today. We calculate that we will be at our half way mark this afternoon which is good going. If the second part is as good as the first, we will be very happy. If anybody can give us an idea of where the SE trade winds normally fill in, please email me on ZMW3460@sailmail.com, we are expecting this (hoping) at 30S & 155W but ?
All well on board, Capt'n T
