Heading Home
18 November 2017 | 21 Miles South of Hierro Turn Point
6:00pm Saturday 18th November 2017 ( UTC-2 ) The light and fickle breeze continued on into the night and it was not until 12:20am ( 0220/18/11/2017 UTC ) this morning that I rounded the Northern tip of Hierro, my nominated turn point in the North Atlantic for my intended circumnavigation. Since then the breeze has been just as light and fickle as I cruised down the Eastern side of the island about two miles offshore. Although the going was slow in the extreme it was not without its compensations. It gave me a great chance to study the landforms of this spectacular volcano and the ports resorts and airport along the coast as well as a quite sizeable little township nestled beneath the clouds. I hope some of this comes through in the photo. The going was so slow I was actually hand steering as I was joined by a large lazy pod of dolphins. They went away and I heard the unmistakeable sound of a large whale taking breath. I got out the iPad camera and took a few snaps of what I took to be a humpback whale about 40 feet long . She/He stayed with me for about an hour sometimes breaching, very slowly, as close as twenty feet from the boat. At times it was much closer just below the surface. I'll see if I can send a photo in my next post. --------------090701010904060208070809--
