Still at sea anchor, rough night, bit better now, wind still ESE. Drifted N 6 n.m., hardly any W, so current going NE, which also explains some of the steep, breaking waves. Must check temp of the sea-Gulf Stream?
Still on sea anchor.
Day 18, Wednesday, June 1st. Been lying eating, reading and relaxing in the cabin, warm and dry, setting sun in through the stern hatch, but being thrown around quite a bit. Like a tivoli ride as Fox II rolls jerkily 20-30 degrees from side to side while the sea anchor is tugging at the neck!
Meant to splice a rope handle for the toilet bucket, but have given up all thought of doing anything useful other than tidying up, charging cameras, laptop and various other electronic gear, and reading “Restless” by John Peck, a sole (sic) mate.
Martin sent a text on the Iridium that amazed me. Already the NRK Lønsj guys Rune & Torfinn have noticed me listening to a whole lot of their podcasts and posted a greeting back on Fb: thank you, thank you, & that includes Bob Kåre! (That character reminds me so much of visiting Sælbu as a boy and not understanding what the cheerful locals were talking about!)
Not such great news from Diana who says strong wind from E may last another 24 hrs…Looks like I’m stuck here tonight. Ironic, finally away from the tides of the American continent and out in the proper, deep ocean after 2,5 days of clammy fog.
On the cheerful note: Another view of the huge, waving dorsal fin of a sun fish this morning and two large whales rolling slowly past, this time managed to film them!
