6-8 August

6/8/2012

Position 14:00 UTC -10  17°52.0747S  155°55.4466W

As I was going forward to transfer diesel to the main tanks, two humpback whales broke the surface just in front of the starboard bow. The one then rolled over on to its back showing the white underside just below the surface. Quite a sight.

Position 14:00 UTC -10  18°04.0046S  157°50.0943W

Still no wind but bright and sunny. Rob decided it was time for a swim off the back. So we slowed down and with a harness on he jumped off the back. Not to be out done George followed. Joyce and I watched.

Position 14:00 UTC -10  18 12.310S 159 49.997W

The wind arrived as forecasted but a bit later than expected. Hopefully it will stay.

Cheers

Chris
