Saw a number of water spouts as the sun set last night... but not close enough to see the whales.
Gentle 6k-9k breezes all night. Still oscillating so having to tweak autopilot all too frequently.
Near other entrants... Perplexiy in sight the whole race so far... passed 500 feet astern mid day (setting off AIS alarm). Nozomi is a mile or two away off the starboard bow. Suspect you all know this from the trackers. but its unusual to be in this tight a pack of boats after 120nm.
Flaked the #3 this morning on the foredeck... likely will not need it again (but maybe... if the wind is strong enough exiting the Low).
Water, grapes, brownie bar... debating making cup a soup for dinner. Been popping Bonine twice a day so feeling good - but that may say more about the modest sea state.
I try to hold off for "real food" to day 3 when I know seasickness will have passed.
Overcast. Warming up a bit... took jacket off this morning.
Slept in my boots and foulies last night... maybe tonight too... before pulling out the jammies and sleeping bag (depends on how much wind we see as we exit to Low).
Should I hank on the Jib Top now or tomorrow? hmmm
Cheers,
Jim
