Three torpedoes
|
Hi all Today I've been overtaken by a depression travelling at 35 knots, and been dealing with all the windshifts as it passes by. Not particularly fast today as had some light winds ahead of the cold front, This low has had the boats behind seeing gusts of over 50 knots, so I will have to be careful tonight. The cold front has just arrived now, so I am on the look out for any squalls. Just a few birds this morning, but otherwise the quietest day yet in the Southern Ocean for seabirds. However, I did see a spectacular sight this morning of three dolphins about 400 metres back launching themselves out of 7m waves, appearing to be having a look at Bahrain Team Pindar from afar. They were travelling the same speed as me, about 17 knots, and followed for a few minutes, before going off for lunch. It was quite amazing to see them flying through the air, they appeared like three torpedoes from the middle of the wave. Brian
