After this morning’s dolphinfest I think we saw only one more today. Still no fish. Two points of interest today. The first was coming upon \u00ecSummer Breeze\u00ee which has been traveling all the way from St Martin. They have been on the road, so to speak, for 16 days which is pretty impressive. We little passed within shouting distance. We’re all heading to Horta so suffice to say, we’ve agreed which bar to meet at.<\/p>\n

Night highlight was coming upon a 30-40ft fin whale right next to the boat. It circled us twice, sussing us out we reckon, while we ran about shouting and taking pictures \u00f1 far fewer than buttons clicked unfortunately.<\/p>\n

I’ve done some trigonometry. With Pico being listed as 2.3km high, I reckon the top of it should, in theory, be visible from 100nm away. That’s of course if the atmospheric visibility allows it. Practically it won’t. Nevertheless, at dawn tomorrow we’ll be a good bit less than 100nm from Pico. Therefore, it is possible, that at dawn we could just see an outline of Pico \u00f1 our first sight of land. If dawn tomorrow is anything like this morning then we’ll nail our first sighting of land at sun up. Wow. Now that would be cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
