Dolphin dawn - log miles 165

Now into Biscay and a great dawn watch. For a while I kept hearing odd noises and then realized it was dolphins. There were 15 or so playing around the bows for at least half an hour. I took some video and stills and just sat watching, a magnificent start to the day. We sailed most of my watch which was a nice change. We are on a 22 day timeline 4 of which were wasted on delays before leaving so if we fall below about 6 knots we motor sail plus we need to pass Finisterre before the low pressure moves in. We are much faster when we are sailing and have a best speed so far of 11.7 knots with a more usual 9.
