Swells building, currently approximately 7m. Winds gale F8, rough seas, no traffic. 500nM West of Gibraltar Straits, sea temp steadily increasing, now 21°C.
Not much out of the ordinary to report, Captain has kept us on both engines, ‘due to the weather’ really its so we can get to barbeque climates more quickly. We have almost reached our most westerly position for this leg, 019° W. Then its due south for 1400nM then finally east towards Cape Town.
I ‘shot’ Jupiter this morning to obtain compass error, then later this evening I shot Venus.
Saw the light house of Madeira, 30nM away.
