Sun and birds

The weather continues perfect. We have a fresh following wind that has lasted since Robben Island outside Cape Town. Now we are halfway. Well out to sea to avoid the fogs, fishing boats and Diamond dredgers on this coast.

We have lots of oceanic birds, several species of shearwater, petrel and albatross. I have identified, White chined shearwaters, a Southen skua and Yellow nose albatross. There has been a lot of shipping too, including a mystery ship that passed us, stopped, turned off her AIS and is now sailing past us again - spooky.

The weather is sunny and warm and starting to feel tropical. All in good spirits and Andy D is beginning to get his sea legs and talking of a boat on a lake!
