Hello All
We went a bit further offshore yesterday and almost feel deserted out here now with no traffic on the radar or AIS, maybe not a bad things for these parts.
We had to slow down during the morning hours to change converters due to some alarms, but this was quickly cleared up and we continued within a short while. The sea remains following all the way and even at our reduced setting we are managing more than 14 knots with the wind pushing us along. The current that has been against us the past 2 days has also now disappeared. It is quite confusing for us in the morning, since it only becomes light between 8 and 9. This is because we decided to remain on SA time. We are altering due south now and will be altering straight for SA when we hit the 10°N latitude at which point our days would start to normalise as we head east again. The time is flying by with our busy days and every day we are a step closer to home.
Other than some sea birds we have not seen much in way of sea animals. There has been 3 racing pigeons that hitched a ride for 2 days, but they are also gone now, probably only sat on deck to have a rest.
