Today got better and better after I wrote.
Our progress has been quite amazing with a current that I saw curving E this morning establishing itself in E to SE direction at 1,5 k or more!
So yesterday’s suggestion of 170 (nearly S) was not far off. We did more than 40 nm in 12 hours!
Wind has been around SE all day 10-20 k and as always with current and wind at odd angles, lumpy, steep seas is an accompaniment. So quite uncomfy to row, especially as I struggle to go a little S, a bit of banging and sloshing over SB side, but also that improved after noon.
And the fog lifted!
Suddenly there was a horizon and we have even got a couple of hours of sun. Lots of birds and just before I finished rowing, two dolphins visiting.
Sun has just now come down from behind a low bank of clouds and shines in through the stern hatch…
My bum and fingers are better and I have managed to dry a couple of things.
On the menu tonight: DryTech’s “Cod in creamy curry sauce”, sprouts on the side (they are germinating fast now in the warmer air), tea, knekkebrød with cheese and Diana’s fruit cake!
But how long will this amazing progress continue?
Tune in tomorrow for the continuous saga of “Fox II”s trek across the North Atlantic!
