We have had some wonderful days with speedy sailing now. But approaching the Azores the high pressure system does not allow sailing for the time being. Hakuna matata, we have enough diesel to go all the way to Ponta Delgada if necessary, 370 Nm. We are racing with dolphins now and then, beautiful animals. I hope to spot some whales between the islands. I have heard that the male whale will approach a sailing boat as if she is a female whale. When he comes close to our boat I guess he will hear the noise of the engine and move at a careful distance.
Once a week there is a ship passing by. The other day a container ship with Chinese letters (no, not biscuits, just on the side of the hull) was passing slowly westwards. Toys for US ?
Today we saw a glimpse of an orange structure. Probably a camouflaged fruitloving shark w a preference for oranges.
Happy Easter holidays! R
