BBQ Day 7

Bloody good day today, woke up and it was sunny, waves were down and had a nice breeze. We took down the 2 headsails, put back up the full main and got back on course doing 6kts all too easy:)
At noon we checked our progress, just 130nm made good but we are happy enough with that, been a reasonably easy enough passage so far. After 7 days we have covered 961nm averaging 137nm a day or 5.7knts and hopefully that might improve the further west we get, anyway just happy the sun is shining and the weather is warming up.
We saw from a distance coming these massive dolphins? Not sure exactly what they are but they are a lot bigger than a usual dolphin for sure with a massive round head. Anyway they stayed with us for an hour today happily swimming under Sunflowers bow, was really nice to see. After all that excitement it was time for a beer and seeing the weather was so nice why not a BBQ? Julie managed to find some Argentinian meet in the city that turned out to be very nice indeed!!
Good times
