34) Still somewhere west of Morocco

Still somewhere west of Morocco


One of the best parts of having the 3am to 6am watch is seeing sunrise.

Calm seas and 10-15 knots out of the northeast.  Light rain on the horizon on two sides of us.  This guy passed us really close.  It gave us something to look at for a while.

 


I went forward and told Alan to look down and he would see a dolphin.  He was working on the red nav light and I was looking for sea life.  This was the first dolphin any of us had seen on this trip.  Later in the day in the distance I spotted whales but they moved away from us.  Also, during this afternoon the swells were about 300 feet apart and 12-15 feet high and it was incredible.  I got some video of it but there is nothing like seeing it in the wild.  Giant swells moving gracefully up and down and the boat ghosting along.






John checking in with Nancy and getting the weather.
