Northern lights and oil rigs

We passaged from the Shetland Isles to Bergen, Norway. We started at six in the evening, had a night, a day, another night and part of the following day. By the second night we were used to the two hour on/four hour off schedule and slept better. The best part of the passage was on the second night, during my shift, there was quite a spectacular display of northern lights. And I did see one dolphin splashing through the phosphorescence. Made the two hours go by quickly. During the day we ended up sailing quite close to an oil rig, making sure to stay more than one nautical mile away, as required. First sighting of an oil rig, not quite as exciting as seeing a whale. But another big milestone for us - we are now east of 0 degrees!
