Second Night At Sea
18 June 2013 | North Atlantic Ocean
Donna
We've just completed our second night at sea. This one went better than the first. Even though a thunderstorm was expected it never came. There was lightning and some distant thunder but not much else. We are doing well. I just watched my second sunrise over the ocean. We had a hitchhiker on one of our lines. It was a very large moth, probably a 6 inch wingspan (see the picture above). He stayed in place as we rolled the sail out, sailed for a while, and then rolled it up. Yesterday evening Bill found a whale not very far off the boat. We watched him for a while but he didn't come out of the water much. We are hoping to see more whales this trip.
We've tried just about every sail configuration so far, we even ran with the spinnaker sail for a while. We spent the night motoring again though. We are now about 8 nautical miles south of Block Island. Hopefully the wind will pick up and we'll be able to sail again today. We'll definitely make landfall today or tonight.
