Hello All
Finally we reached open ocean yesterday afternoon and we are experiencing the so familiar motion of the ocean, which is quite different to the choppy seas of the gulf of Bothnia and the North Sea. The vessel has a gentle roll to the long north westerly swell reminding us what it is like to be at sea.
We continued to make good speed all through last night and today as the moderate winds kept on the quarter. Other than a couple of fisherman the traffic through the English channel was quite manageable and it was like going for a Sunday afternoon drive with everyone taking it easy and following the rules and their lanes.
I have attached two images. The photo of the wind farms is from the south of Denmark shortly after we picked up the first pilot and the photo of the nice sunset was taken last night.
The to do lists are growing daily as we make the vessel our own and everyone on board is giving that little extra to get everything organised, I commend them.
The outside and sea water temperatures are rising rapidly and even though it is only at 11°C it feels like summer to the ones that has just experienced a harsh finish winter.
All the best.
