This is what it's about

Two firsts. One, we broke our daily mileage record with 160nm in 24 hours. Woohoo! Two, we had a whale surfing on our bow for about 45 minutes today. All of us watched in absolute delight as the whale about 5-6 metres long swam along side of us, then played in the bow waves, ducking from one side of the boat to the next, then surfing through the large swell behind us. Actually, there may have been two, as it seemed to be in one place one minute, then completely different place the next, but can't say for sure. I think at one point, he was making a serious hit on the boat, in the mating sense of the word, showing us his under-belly. He must have been really excited once he realised we were twins (2 hulls LOL.) Mia and Lochy were nearly as excited as I was - it was AMAZING!!! This is what it is all about.
