Thursday January 6th

Very hard couple of sessions today, making less than 1 mile an hour in one of them!  Still, hopefully it will be worth it later on in the trip when we get some decent weather to push us along.  Weather became a bit more favourable as the day went on and got some nice north easterly winds for the night time shifts.  Had a visit from a large whale this afternoon, breached very near the boat.  Good to have the company!  Still see the lights from towns in Africa at night time, wish they would disappear...at least then it would feel like we had really left!!
