Moovin' and Groovin' with the wind and waves

3/1/2015 position at 1800 41 29'S 155 59'E
822nm to Nelson
It's been another nice day heading East with a 20 knot northerly on our beam. The sky has been overcast and grey which makes the sea look an even darker grey than usual. The sea and sky are like daily mirror images of each other. As yet we haven't seen any mammals to speak of except each other. The occasional albatross swoops slowly and elegantly near us and what we think are storm petrels flit about the tops of the waves seeming to collect microscopic food which is invisible to our human eye. Last night when Wayne went out to check the sails his torchlight lit up some prawns that were around the boat. They were clear with huge eyes. Today was spent like the previous few...horizontal-reading books, listening to music, talking and napping. Such a contrast to the hectic weeks leading up to our departure. Wayne decided it was time for a big 'cook up' today. So he made a delicious stew of meat and vegies.
All is well onboard spaceship Ambler
