For most of today it has been a lovely sail in the southern Atlantic Ocean, a first for us. We had winds 8-16 knots from the NW and speeds over the ground from 5-8 knots with the main at the third reef, the yankee and the staysail. Beautiful sunny skies, and greenish blue water. This morning some dolphins came by and did tail stands to look at us in the cockpit. We had spent many moments watching albatross, petrels and other birds skimming waves and swooping up over the bow and back down to skim the waves again.
Right now we have winds 20-23 knots and rolly, confused, beam seas which send the boat rocking wildly from side to side. What a change a few hours can make.
Onward....
