The nasty seas have come back along with an increase in wind. Yesterday afternoon we noticed a very large, long period swell coming from the north - at least 4 meters high. When the wind filled in to 20 knots in the night, a wind chop from the NE joined that swell and so we are slewing and rolling side to side once more. Not a particularly comfortable ride, but we are safe, warm and dry - and on track. The conditions are supposed to persist over the next couple days as we watch the miles tick off to our destination.
Doug looked at the weatherfax this morning and noticed that a low he had spotted to the south east of us has not dissipated as he had hoped. It is moving slowly north, but will likely not affect us. Thank goodness! I am beginning to think it will be very nice to be in a safe harbour again soon.
Last night a brown bird with an elegant long wing span did a magnificent aerial ballet over the waves behind Ka'sala. We were playing Diana Krall and it was like it knew the tune as it soared all around - a truly lovely sight.
We are reading and keeping a close eye on the conditions, otherwise, it is a quiet day aboard Ka'sala.
