Towards Ireland, day 11

Distance: 123nn

Had the toilet shift. This is the 6am to 8am shift which include cleaning the toilet. A very little toilet, and no one gets seasick, so I don't mind.
This morning I got a bonus. About 20 pilot whales followed the ship for more than an hour. They got as close as possible, meaning 1 metre. Very cool sight. All the crew except Tor got up and saw the whales.

Late afternoon and evening, we have had the strongest winds in three months. Was doing up to 6 knots just with our main sail in second rope. This meant done big waves, and turbulent sea.
Our crew is very used to sailing now, so no one was sick.

Right now the wind is lighter. I'm in my bed now, and the waves are still making it difficult to stay in bed.

But the wind also means we're logging a lot of miles.
