Day 41
Today I thought I'd share a picture of my home when I'm not rowing with you. Although you can't see them the en suite facilities are great! The reason for showing you this photo is it's where I've spent all of my time today. The weather has turned against me forcing me back on the para anchor. The good news is it's supposed to clear within about 36 hours. Pretty frustrating but you just have to go with it.
I saw an absolutely massive whale today. All of a sudden I heard this "whoosh" noise. I turned around to see a very large whale blowing air out of the water. At first it was a bit intimidating because of its sheer size. I think it might of have had a baby following it too. As I tried to take a photo it disappeared under the water again and was gone.
All in all just waiting for some better weather so I can get moving again.

How frustrating for you to be on the sea anchor again. However, it has its compensations!!! What a very tidy cabin - very impressive!! I doubt Chris's cabin was ever that tidy!!!!!! Also, you saw a whale close by. Wow! Neither of these events would have happened if you were on the oars or sleeping soundly.
Hope the wind changes soon for you and you begin to make progress again. You will get there!
Keep safe and enjoy everything as much as possible.
