In search of wind and wildlife

Frank Pastor

Very light breeze, ENE 4 knts, water like glass. We sailed off the mooring with main and genoa set and ghosted along at 2knts. After clearing the moorings we tacked and headed northwest in search of wildlife. The wind remained light at 4-6 knts but enough to sail along maintaining about 2.5-3 knts of boat speed. We spotted sea birds, porpoise and dolphins. We watched a brilliant sunset but no green flash. The track shows going through land but seems to have ignored several tacks, maybe due to poor GPS signal.
