We're between the Shetland Islands and the Orkney Islands on a NW course to the Faroe Islands. We've come over 600 nautical miles and hope to make port in 2 days depending on the tides and the winds.
Today was the First Mate's 55 birthday and Cookie baked a cake which was presented to Steve Hicks at the main mast just before dinner as we all sang happy birthday.
Steve is quite a character and also an inspiring leader.
Bulletin: we briefly saw a dolphin break water right along the starboard side, just where I was standing. All I saw was its fin, but it quickly drew a crowd of would be dolphin spotters.
Having a great time and making many new friends!
Sending this off before I lose the connection.
