Boxing Day 2008 underway to Dakaar Senegal
So it’s Boxing Day, a holiday celebrated by about 50% of the people on board apparently. I’m on galley duty which is sweet because I didn’t have to get up for my night watch.
The little Christmas Tree is still on the hatch and the decorations are still sparkling in the light but we are back to normal ship routine today. There is a change in the weather coming. This morning we still had the same light winds and long slow swell from the NW but awe also had high Cirrus clouds, Mare’s Tails alsso coming from that direction. by midafternoon the wind has dropped almost entirely and the sky is covered with a haze that malkes it look quite “brassy” it’s bright but you cannot see the Sun.
Hmmm. Hopefully we will get a fairer wind out of whatever is coming because at this rate it will take 20 days to get to Senegal!
Thanks for reading.
