Day 7 at sea

Libby was convinced she had snakes in her bed last night, so we were awake with her from 1am to 5am. During that time I did notice a number of bright lights on the horizon - maybe one of the big cities in Ivory Coast, or oil rigs. Today the sea is smooth, the air is warm and humid, and the sky is overcast - we had a huge downpour yesterday afternoon, and more rain overnight, but none so far today. We did a Man-Overboard Drill this morning, and shortly afterwards were treated to a magnificant orca show off the bow - the orcas jumped right out of the water, I'm told. I missed it because I'd nodded-off whilst reading a book (yeah, thanks Libby!). We're managing to keep the boredom at bay by taking everything slow, and making it last. Olly
