COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE – St. Helena, Island to Ascension Island – Day 02 – 175 nm
Got a bit breezy last night so we\’re under full main and genoa poled out to windward. It is predicted to back off a bit and if so we\’ll stay with
this sail plan. If not, we\’ll take in a reef. Yesterday we saw a \”Sei Whale\” about 100 feet from the boat. It just seemed as curious about us as we about it.
Also, several very large white dolphins were tagging along with the whale! Our best run yet today at 175 miles, much more Miss Piggy like…
KIT, Hope to be in on Friday during the day to Ascension Island.
Scott and Nikki – Blog will be up shortly
