We made some good progress last night, as the wind was around 15 knots, up to 20 at times. This morning it is back around 10, and we are loping along. I saw the Albatross again yesterday, and Eric was able to look at it and confirm my identification. It appears to be a young specimen, not fully grown, though it is still significantly larger than the other birds I have seen.
The Albatross
Although it is definitely colder now at night, when the sun is shining during the day it is still quite comfortable on deck, and I am still able to get by with shorts and a t-shirt. I am holding onto the shorts as long as possible, though I have a pair of leggings ready to put on as soon as the temperature drops. Blue jeans are not practical to wear on the boat, as they soak up moisture like a sponge, and there is a surprising amount of dew accumulating everywhere at night.
The water maker has once again started leaking and Eric’s first attempt to fix it has failed. He will try again today.
